Your thumbs go numb because blood is having trouble circulating to your extremities. That's why frost bite kills your outer most parts, it's because there is not enough or no oxygen reaching the parts of your body that needs it.

This can also be a sign of Reynauds Syndrom. Not a serious condition, but it has to do with cold messing around with the nerves that control the capillaries. Once warmed up, circulation returns.
