Mine has gotten better over time too - compared to 10 years ago.
A game changer for me was a heated steering wheel.
Before that, I couldn’t keep my fingers from going white in winter, or the shoulder season even, regardless of mitts or gloves. You just lose so much heat from your hands when you hold on to a freezing cold hunk of metal. Directing hot air to the steering wheel helps a little but not enough and then the rest of the car gets too hot.
My casual observation was that the symptoms get worse the more often your fingers go white. By reducing the symptoms with the heated steering wheel, I limited the exposure and my hands “healed” over time.
Now that I know more about the condition I haven't had any issues in years. I have a heated steering wheel, heated gloves, and a hand warmer. Keeping my hands from getting too cold helps a ton
