John, I"ve found that dressing for the occasion helps as much as anything when doing anything, including plowing snow on an open station tractor in frigid weather. One of our guys insisted on mounting the snow blade on an open station IH 966 rather than a 1456 with cab. Dumb, huh? Anyway, at zero-F, I put the thermal socks on under thermal boots, sweat pants under bluejeans and Carhart bibs, T-shirt, hooded sweatshirt, carhart vest under artic carhart coat, ski mask, and lined mittins, and was warm as toast. I was on the tractor for 4 hours straight. Other than the limitations placed on moving and climbing up and down the tractor, I felt much warmer than the evening, years ago, when I decided to attend a U. of Miami vs U. of Fla football game in 50-F weather in short sleeves. As soon as the sun went down, I got a chill through my body that took a half bottle of rum to purge out of my system. As I said, its all a matter of dressing properly for the occasion.
