So you learned the secret. Floats work best!. We had 15 at our annual New Years fly, just for a few hours. It snowed at 10AM but by 11AM we had bright sky 34F and about 5 inches of snow, no wind. Perfect!!! Last year I had to hire a tractor and then use my snowblower around the flightline(42 inches of snow, no global warming last year).
No gloves, just hands in pockets for a few minutes before flight. I had a glitch toward the end of my fifth flight and wonder if my A123 had enough at that temp.
