I wonder if running a tube from inside my jacket, down my tights and into my socks would do anything to "share" my upper body heat with my feet? Maybe a little battery powered pump/fan could be added to the tube to aid the transfer.

OK, maybe it's a stupid, cockeyed thought. But having a thought is an accomplishment for me!
Well, TT, given the ease of other options like heavier socks or waterproof booties, I'm going to counsel you against the fan-driven heating tube down your tights. But, if you do make this set up, please post (non-revealing) pictures...
