Once the snow starts falling in Colorado, I just snowboard until it melts. Then I get back to throwing.

So obviously up here in northern IL it's cold and windy. I've been playing daily, even in the low 30's. Today was 23 degrees and I said screw it, I'll stay inside. I always wear tons of layers and am usually the warmest guy of the bunch (blackberry brandy helps:thmbup. How low temperature wise do you play in? And what do you use, clothing or anything, to help you stay warm and motivated?
I'll play in single digits and negative wind chill here in central Illinois. Dressing in layers works great. Been trying to find some decent gloves that can keep fingers warm and still grip well. Sometimes wearing snow gloves and taking it off to throw works. Any ideas what some of you do for hands in the cold?
If you're going to take the route of wearing gloves and taking them off to throw, do it with a good pair of mittens instead. Mittens are warmer than gloves since your fingers are touching...they can share body heat better than if they're each isolated in their own section (so your hand warms back up faster after being out to throw). A handwarmer in the mitten is also more effective than a handwarmer in a glove.
