Sounds like frostbite to me. You should go to the doctor and make sure there was no damage done to the tissues in your hands. That's nothing to fool around with.

Symptoms of Frostbite
Common warning signs include a progressive numbness and a loss of sensitivity to touch. The affected area will also tingle or feel as if it is burning. As the condition worsens, the pain begins to fade or eventually disappear.

The skin also changes color when exposed to extreme cold. It blanches, then may appear red, and finally white-purple if allowed to freeze.


Most people say the affected part of the body feels "wooden," and it may appear to have a wooden texture.


Frostbite can affect any part of the body, but the tip of the nose, ear lobes and rim, fingertips, and toes are the most likely areas.


In mild cases, full recovery can be expected with early treatment. Severe cases of frostbite can result in infection, or gangrene - the death of some body tissue due to the lack of blood supply

It could also be Reynouds (ReyNoz) Phenomenon, a harmless condition as far as I know (I have it). I would suggest that you seek medical attention as soon as possible however, in case it is frostbite or something else. If it is then you need to get it treated asap.
