In Canada I have met people who have hot fingertips even in winter.
These people typically don't have difficulty with Canadian winter.
Other people I have met,
it is quite common for their fingers to feel dead,
in terms of body warmth even at room-temperature.
If most people have warm fingertips down to a certain temperature
and this corresponds to the bottom end of their comfort range
then my weather experiences are similar, except mine occur at higher temperatures.
For those with chilled fingers, are you comfortable even when your fingertips aren't warm?
Probably the best way for a fair comparison is to put the temperature your fingertips aren't warm when you are relaxed, not excersizing.
This morning it was 20 C/68 F, solid overcast, damp with a faint breeze and for the first hour after I waking up they felt cold.
I probably would have felt warm at 16 C/60 F but with morning sunshine.
My fingers can't stand the winter. I need to wear thick mitts or my hands go numb, always had bad circulation in my hands when its cold. Even in a 20c room they get cold.
I really don't pay attention to my fingertips, as strange as it might sound, so I guess my fingers don't get hot or cold easily. If there is a sustained wind in the 30-50 mph range, my fingertips will usually get cold even if it's around 50F outside (in which case I'll wear some light gloves), but if there are light winds even 15F presents absolutely no difficulty in keeping them warm. So, my fingertips appear to be a lot more wind sensitive than cold sensitive, and regrettably I can't give a straight answer to the question.
Depends on several factors for me. Temperatures below about 15°C and my hands and feet will be cold. That is also the temperature threshold that my nose starts to run.
Around 55F is when I notice my fingers getting uncomfortably numb. I can get cold hands at much higher temperatures, of course, but they wouldn't be numb. If it gets to below freezing it can get down right painful.
