Mum really appreciates those heated gloves I got her for Christmas that have elements down to the finger tips. Mind you, batteries only last for a couple of hours.

Has been lovely down here Deep west today too bit breezy but lovely walk along the beach with the pooch and family,
Generally if its cold out, i avoid working on the cars unless i have too January mot mean i often have too! What puts me off is more the increased likelyhood of slipping and mashing my hand/knucklws into cold Hard metal! :-D

Yes, absolutely... And with cold hands lacking in feeling you can injure them badly without immediately realising it...

I don't know if it's the timing of Black's MoT but I certainly have had more jobs that needed immediate attention than any other time of the year just lately! Or maybe I'm just noticing them more because of how much of a pain it is lying on snowy ground!

I can't put up with cold nowadays. When I was a fisherman I had to, and could, many hours working in a refrigerated fish hold without a break saw to that. Come warmer weather I will get my broken cars going again. Even though it's bright and sunny here, it's freezing cold and outside is a no no for me unless wrapped up so much I can hardly move!
