I hear you! I did my first winter ride on Saturday, and my feet went numb an hour in. I had to be really carefull unclipping; gave myself plenty of extra time. As soon as I got home and thawed out, it was off to buy booties and wool socks. I didn't think I would need such acoutrements in N. California, but I was incorrect. The wind and dampness did a number on my toes!
