How to warm cold fingers

To quickly warm cold fingers, simply place them on the back of your neck for a few minutes. Never blow on your fingers or into your gloves. This deposits moisture inside your gloves and can make warming even more difficult and, in extreme circumstances, can contribute to evaporative cooling and eventual frost nip or frostbite.
