A warm coat, thick boots, gloves, hat, and a vigorous game of fetch, tug, and push keeps both my dog and I warm in that weather.

First - make sure that you have <a href="http://www.naturaldogblog.com/blog/2007/11/dog-training-quick-tip-what-to-do-when-it-rains-outside/" rel="nofollow">really good inclement weather gear</a> - and use it! Second - when your dog gets used to the "indoors I am really relaxed and outside is where I play" dynamic, your dog, in general will tend to be less "wound up" inside, saving that intensity for outdoor activity. The engine revving inside (without a satisfactory outlet) is a contributor to the symptoms of separation anxiety. Hope that makes sense.
