Frozen Hand and Fingers

I just got home from church and hour and half ago ( Wednesday midweek worship service ) . After church , I went to put gas on the car. Usually it's my husband who puts gas on the car, but since he's working 12 hours /day. I am doing it myself. He's tired and exhausted when he gets home so I don't want to ask him to bring the car to the gas station to gas up.

I would start to freak out, when I only have a quarter of tank . LOL . I just don't want to ran out of gas especially with this weather we have now. My husband and I met up at church and after the service, I told my him that I need to put gas and he said to just wait until we get home and he''ll take the car to the gas station . I said, okay and as I was following him , I went ahead to the gas station instead.

So I got out of the car and put gas . I did not wear any gloves or scarf or hat, just a jacket. I didn't realized how cold it is until my right hand becomes numb that I didn't even finish filling up the tank. I was only able to put like 6 gal. I used my right hand to hold the nozzle and after I fill up my tank, I can't feel anything. When I turn the engine on, I see that the temperature was ONE BELOW ( -1 ) , with a wind chill of about minus 15. I have to sit in the car for a few minutes before I started driving again because I was scared that I might not be able to maneuver the car because of my frozen fingers/hand. Until now, ( after an hour and half ) both my little and my ring fingers are still a little bit numb. What I did was crazy. I could have lost my hands/fingers for a frost bite? I really don't like wearing gloves or hats, but I guess I have no choice now :(
