Well, thar's what they are. You know it's a cold day if you have frozen palms. There's gotta be a way to extend the heat to where it's really needed, the fingers and backs of hands. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know. Gloves don't really help that much unless maybe they're something for Antarctic explorers, and I probably couldn't afford that.

Look in the hunting section of stores and over near the camouflage jackets you'll see orange&silver packages of 2 or 3 sizes. They should say 'hand warmers' or something similar. They seem like packs of some herbs or straw.. Not sure what it really is but I've heard many hunters swear by them
I picked up a pair of insulated nylon gloves at BJ's wholesale club for under $10 two years ago and they are great for those days when the temperature is approaching 0°F. They are a little bulky, but they have rubber grips on the fingers and an extended gauntlet with elastic pull ties to keep them snug. Quite toasty. As a matter of fact, If I wear them when the temperature is 25°F or higher, they are too warm and my hands sweat.
Via Wikipedia: Air-activated hand warmers contain cellulose, iron, water, activated carbon, vermiculite (water reservoir) and salt and produce heat from the exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. They typically emit heat for 1 to 10 hours, although the heat given off rapidly diminishes after 1–2 hours.
Back in the good old days and still available now are basically giant Zippo lighters you stuff in your pocket. I could never get around the idea of having a fire going in my pocket so I only gave them as gifts and never used them myself.
Battery power is an option another option these days. Battery operated hand warmers are charged via USB and can also be used to charge your devices.
The last option is charcoal powered. I've never actually seen one of these in real life so I cannot comment on there efficacy but as I said before A fire burning in my pocket is contraindicated.
All these options are avalable at Amazon, Amazon UK & Amazon CA to name a few online sources.
Here in Boston MA just about every Gas Station, corner store and even liquor stores sell that Hot Hands air-activated version
While I do use the air activated types what I really would like to try are the battery operated gloves and socks.

BJ's is an east coast wholesale shopping club, like CostCo or Sam's club (Walmart).
Just put the hand warmers in your coat or jacket pockets.
Not being sarcastic, but try mittens. Foot warmers work because your toes aren't all in separate holes so the heat can be distributed. If you need to use your fingers, try something like these which are about $15 on Amazon
On Thanksgiving day I'll get home around 8 AM. The Accuweather Real Feel temperature will be - 3. I'll have Hot Hands in my interior and exterior coat pockets.
The interior pockets for the "core" and some of the exterior pockets for my hands.
I've got a lof of pockets.
