In reality, if you heat the torso, the warmer blood will be carried out to
the extremities. It wouldn't be a complete cure to ward off mid-winter
Canadian cold at midnight, but it would be enough to handle the coldest
that North Carolina has to offer when combined with sensible socks, a hat
and a pair of gloves. (headset makes a nice set of ear muffs)

I'm not so sure about North Carolina temperatures being OK with just a warm
seat, but these will help. It is amazing how much warmer you stay with some
good boots, and these.
