First off, yeah, I realize that I'm a weenie Californian now. But still. 39 degrees F in the morning is pretty chilly, especially when your coats are a) at work or b) in the trunk of the car.
But.
The chilly ride to work isn't the real pain in the ass.
I am at work right now. I am wearing a pair of fleecy pants that are usually too freaking hot to wear at any time of the year. I have a pair of thick socks on. I'm wearing a heavy, long sleeved shirt.
And yet. I was still really fucking cold.
So.
I put on my fleece jacket. And I draped the blanket over my legs. And I put on gloves, so I could fucking well type. Tell me that's not just absolutely ridiculous. But, now that I'm all bundled up, I'm finally warm!
Of course, I can't type worth a damn because of the gloves...

Anyway,best thing is they are fingerless for typing but you just flip the mitten thing over when you're not to keep them warm.
That's what you need.

When I was a kid I had a pair of purple (of course) gloves that had an over-pair of cream fingerless gloves with rainbow stripes, and I used to wear the fingerless ones to orchestra rehearsals, because there was never enough heat, and my fingers would go so numb I couldn't feel the strings...those things completely saved my life.
