I will echo ng though that smoking seemed to make it worse. While I still get numb and tingly, I'm not nearly as cold now that I stopped smoking.

Raynaud's is poor circulation in the extremities and can cause tingling and numbness-those of us who have it have legs and hands that 'fall asleep' quite often.
I'm not sure which is worse: the pain of cold in the winter or the ungodly swelling in the summer-I once was so swollen after driving for 6 hours that my feet engulfed my flipflops(I couldn't get them off)-they looked like oversized baby feet
