Hi raynauds is when your fingers and toes in particular react to cold- with colour changes, the nose and ears can also be affected. They go very white as the blood supply is restricted , blue then red as the blood supply returns to normal. They go numb and then become very painful and tingle when the circulation returns. It can happen summer or winter but winter tends to be worse. Hope that helps.
