It's not that batteries get used up more quickly in the cold, it's that the chemical reaction is slower and the battery produces less power when cold. This can make it seem like it's dead sooner, but if you warm it up the power is still there, it's just not delivering it when cold.
This could also be a plus in that the unused batteries will hold their charge longer in cold weather.

Take extra batteries and if you're going to be in cold weather areas warm them up before using them. Keep them in your pocket so body heat will keep them warm. If the battery seems to be going dead, swap it out for a warm one. Once the cold one warms up it'll be OK again. You can keep swapping out until they are completely discharged.
I've had very good luck with batteries from Sterling Tek, and they have a great price on compatible batteries.
