I used to dive with a 7 mil farmer john in water temps in the low 40's and upper 30s. I would bring hot water to pour into the suit after I got it on, and into my gloves and hood. I could do a 30-40 minute dive but would usually not do more than one dive a day. And I was pretty cold for a while after diving. So it can be done, but a dry suit and dry gloves make it way more enjoyable.
