Do you recommend any particular pair of gloves? The main criteria is that it should be able to withstand 10-20 F and also provide me with the grip and sensitivity to handle the tiny buttons and dials on my camera? Thanks in advance.

I made the mistake of blowing on a lens to clean it one time. That was all it took for me to realize it wasn’t a very bright move. I’ll second the suggestion for chemical hand warmer packets. They’re like magic in a bag, if you ask me. Keeps the digits nice and toasty for several hours. All are excellent tips, Younes. I made the mistake of blowing on a lens to clean it one time.

Also, a combination of cold and over tightening the screw on the tripod mount can quickly lead to a threaded mounting plate (like mine). So don't over tighten people! I've also been a fan of those hand-warmer things, since you might be taking your bare hands in and out of your gloves or pockets to handle your dials and switches I think carrying a few of these (and a few extras for your friends) is certainly a good idea.
