I think cold, exposed ear lobes are pretty common. Who knows. In any case, my wife solved the problem for me when she got me a pair of ear bags. www.earbags.com or http://www.amazon.com/Earbags/dp/B002WQ7R2O. They look ridiculous on their own and fall off, BUT under a headband or a beanie they are perfect! I've not found a better solution. I've had happy, warm ear lobes for two years now. Highly recommended.
