I can say we just had a blizzard and have been getting one to two storms a week. Oakley has a Hurrta coat, a snood which he sometimes uses as a neck warmer and boots used for wet snow or extremely cold weather. Despite that his paw pads started bleeding yesterday mid walk…he really can't handle the constant snow,ice,cold and ice melt..
I think you should be able to bring your pup out; just keep an eye on any signs of hard shivering or motionless (not wanting to move), lifting up of one foot at a time and staring at you. All those can be signs of cold uncomfortability. Congrats on your new pup and I do agree to use caution around dogs you aren't familiar with, but also keep in mind socialization is super important as well. Try for positive experiences with dogs at a safe distance and try to get in up close experiences with dogs whose medical history and owner reliability are there
Here We Go Again

Yesterday in Vancouver, BC we had what amounted to a monsoon. I walked a half block at one point and looked like I had been in a long shower - just dripping wet. Our animals at home were most upset with the weather too. Barney (angel child cat) had the saddest look on his face. I opened the door for him and he just stood there, looked outside and then turned to look at me - a look of sadness and utter disgust. But today is better and he is out in the yard, protecting his property. Oh why don't I live in Hawaii?

It spent most of yesterday raining down here in Washington also. My wife had to chase my two down the steps first thing in the morning for them to go outside.
They gave me the "Yeah… not going to happen" look when I opened the door for them to go outside for our walk.
