Yeah, I don't usually bother getting all layered up when I go out to chop ice out of the bird baths in winter. 
Yes, I do that.....and without gloves, etc.  (they just get wet and in the way)   I put out water and / or chop
ice everyday and might be out there for 10 to 15 minutes depending on how much there is to do and if I'm
also getting wood from the barn to the house.  I'm used to being outside in the cold, cold.   Snow shoveling
is the same way.  If you layer up too much you just get overheated.
