Stepmania in the winter?

Ok, well not winter, but November is still cold enough!

Does anybody have problems playing stepmania this time of the year?
My hands are usually pretty cold, not a good thing for this type of game. I find myself missing stupid arrows in songs because my hands arent "warmed up" and they literally just stop moving. My hands also hurt a lot more during hard songs.

I guess this doesn't apply to states like florida as much as the people up north where its down to 20 degrees at night.

I have bad circulation so my hands are pretty cold more often than not. And it is hard to play properly when your hands are freezing :{

I tend to just warm 'em up before I attempt anything too hard. Or I don't bother and fail miserably

yes...i hate it. it's always 5 degress colder in my room than in the rest of my house, so my fingers are like ice if i haven't been playing for about 30 minutes. they just refuse to move and i get the stupidest misses...it sucks.

just to answer, if someone who stands next to you watching you play PSMO but you get a D on it, versus somebody who understands perfect attacking and stuff, will think you suck. A player is considered good in my opinion when a player of a higher level comments about you or see's you triple A a song. Or if somebody looks up to you. Hope it clarifies.

Yeah, but I don't know if it's 'cause of the fact that it's winter.

Lately, the ends of my fingers have felt cold, but not freezing-cold, and I have actually been better in the last few days for some reason. [sarcasm](Look at me brag about playing SM with my fingers...pffh)[/sarcasm]

I just turn up the heat in my room to 75 or 80 degrees. I turned it up to 85 when it was 34 degrees up here in uber cold Saratoga/Malta/Round Lake New York.
