Despite all the suggestions, there is no realistic solution for keeping fingers warm that have to be bare.

It's absolutely true -- fingers are the Final Frontier. I'm lucky to have what my wife (with borderline Reynaud's) calls bionic hands. They stay much warmer than most people's. But even so, and even wearing half mittens with hand warmers inside, after a couple of hours out in really cold weather, I'll suddenly hit a wall where my hands become nearly non-functional. In such conditions, I try to find activities that can be done wearing full mittens, such as binocular or naked-eye observing.
