This happens because our bodies typically run at 98.6 degrees. If you go outside and it is 10 degrees out, this effects your body temperature. When the cold gets to your fingers, toes, the sock and gloves can then act like an insulator for the cold. Its always to best if that happens, to get your socks or gloves off, and give your body temp a change to regulate itself. As long as your clothing isn't wet, you'll find this works. The pain is caused by the nerve endings in our fingers / toes. These are located at the tip, this is basically a direct hit from the cold.

On a cold, windy day, you'll even notice the cold air is hard to take in, this is again because the body's core is 98.6 degrees. Best to select the right clothing if you live in a colder climate.
