My [near 70] mom's hands get white in chilly weather

When it is chilly out, my mom's hands, mostly fingers, get white. She doesn't have any other symptoms [light headed, nausea], just looses color. When she gets into a warmer atmosphere, the color comes back.

She's near 70 years old, had a stroke a year ago, doing fine otherwise. On high blood pressure meds, and her blood pressure is in the normal range.
 
I have Reynaud's. I keep gloves in my car. When my hands get cold I run warm water over them and it helps. The nose is a bit harder to get warm.
 
Well, that DOES sound familiar. She also talks about them feeling numb as well. The first time I saw this, it really concerned me, but she acted normal, otherwise.

I will make sure that she knows to keep gloves with her when the weather may turn chilly. Thanks for the input. :)
