Re: Autumn To Do List
I know that feeling. My gloves were fine for wearing while shovelling snow the first two winters but last time my fingertips got really cold really quickly.
I bought some horrible fluorescent rubbery things the other day...hopefully they'll do the trick.
At least if my fingers drop off I should be able to see them - bright orange in the snow.

Or just do a Google search for insulated pants.

That is exactly what I mean.
Down filled would be really good something like these.

Funnily enough that's pretty much what I set out to buy a week ago, but I decided the horrible rubbery things might be better. I wondered if rubber might be better between fingers and handle as it seemed holding the cold shovel might be the problem.
I'll find out soon enough and go back to plan A if needed.

Re: Autumn To Do List
I can't remember where you live. If you're in a city that has a Mountain Equipment Co-op, they're good for that sort of thing too. But Mark's is more widespread.
