Surely they won't mind the silver gloves that are thin enough to allow you to feel what you are doing and you can put inside the mycoal hand warmers. Wear layers and warm socks. Can you have a heater behind the counter?

I would also say laters/boywarmers, good socks and boots/shoes (assuming you can chose your footwear!). Avoid the cold air flows on your fingers, in my experience it is the temperature fluctuation which can cause the trigger of a Raynaud's attack. I can send you a homemade finger protector which can be used if you are only at the doorway intermittently (I used it while working outside in London last january).

Best wishes

Using mittens which properly cover your wrists? skiing trousers i.e. ones with thermal linings?

Not what you're looking for?
