Thanks for generously sharing - once again - specific guidance for outdoor painting. I feel you took to heart the thought-provoking message on Van Kleeck's sign: "Don't Find Fault, Find Remedy." In this case, working quickly and making mental note to bring the gloves and handwarmers next time...
Thom, check a store that sells hunting supplies. They have various kinds of teabag-like packets that you activate and put inside a glove or shoe. They last for more than an hour, enough time to do a painting. Here's an example: https://amzn.to/2rLNBYh

Chemical handwarmers? What are those? I could use some of those, my fingers seize up even when it's 15 degrees C with a breeze
