I think that the medical explanation for why your fingers and toes (and then arms and legs) lose circulation when you get cold is that its just your bodys self-defense mechanisms kicking in - your fingers and toes are less vital than the core of your body, so your body does everything it can to keep the blood flowing and keep your core warm. i'm no doc, but thats what i think the reason is....
