Default Contax G2 In Cold weather

First, sorry for my bad english since i am a chinese from Hong Kong.
I am going to go north of the china for travel next month. The temperture is
only around -20C. I don't know whether my Contax G2 can work in such
enviroment. Does anyone have any experience?
Thanks for your help in advance!

No, it won't. Get a Leica M7.

Contax makes a nice accessory battery back (look on eBay). Put the
battery pack in your pocket, tether the cord to the camera. It's
cheaper than getting a M7.

Yes, the pocket battery pack is meant exactly for that.
In fact, in such cold weather, G2's auto-focus could be better fit than
the manual focus -- for your finger's sack.
