Glad your hand feels better, sorry I read your post but had no idea what it could be....my advice....avoid manual labor at all costs

Sounds to me like you needed to have gloves on! It's very important when you're out in the cold like that to not leave any skin exposed . . . especially skin that is so far away from your core.

Young lady, with no gloves on and in 25 degree weather, it sounds alot like a touch of frostbite. I've done that a lot and when I would come back in the house, my fingers would start to come back to normal. Just remember to wear a pair of gloves the next time you shovel.

It sounds to me like you were frost bitten. It is very important to dress warm outside in this cold weather! I hope you're feeling better today! ((hugs))

Thanks...perfectly normal today

I wasn't out very long

but I've been reading a bit about frostbite since then...scary stuff!! It seems that it was just an early sign of it or something...but everything I read says it is very painful, and my hand didn't hurt at all? I did put them in the hot tub (and thats what it says to do on some of the sites) so that was a good thing. My hands were very numb and tingly, so wierd, I've never experienced that before! I will definately wear gloves next time, even if I'm only going to be out a couple of minutes!
