How well would Kes fare in a cold environment?

Kes is quite an unusual character in Star Trek and I have a little problem establishing if she would fare well in a cold environment. I read in a fanfic somewhere she might fare worse than humans in a cold environment. As for canon, she only really appeared in controlled environments like Ocampa city or Voyager, or warm planets like her homeworld and that planet in “Tatoo”. So, can you tell me what do you think about this?

She should bring a coat.
 
Oh, and she probably would just heat the air with her mind. So she wouldn't need a coat.
 
She’s dead by now, so it doesn’t matter.
I do not believe that Kes is dead. She likely surpassed her 9 year lifespan becoming omnipotent.

BTW, was it ever explained what exactly triggered this evolution of her being?

I see Kes as being a bit like an X-Men character now, perhaps like Phoenix. This means that she would probably not like the cold, as she is an entity of fire and rebirth.

However, this all reminds me of the title of that Kes/Ocampan centric Voyager episode, Coldfire.

Phoenix is a cosmic entity that travels through the cold of space with ease.
