I was in stand today and it was 18 degrees and feet were warm, head was warm, and as it got warmer I took a layer off. Be sure to wiggle your toes as much as possible and ever once in a while stand up and get blood flowing.
I dont know what else to say except if you aren't ready to face the elements, go spend $400 on some overalls, and the whole arctic stuff. I have a backpack I carry, and usually after each hunt I have taken a layer off and packed it away and forgot about it.
Only hunt on days you won't get cold, unfortunately that's when they are moving the most!
