Greetings from Minnesnowta, land of -20F windchills. I've only ever had trouble with metals, and it wasn't so bad, my ears just got a little swollen and unhappy after a few hours frolicking outside. Wood/silicone plugs and a hat with ear flaps will keep yo ear holes safe. Or get some sweet ear muffs. +1 to this, i'm in Kansas where we get All the Extreme Weather, and i've only ever noticed issues with metal. I got an obnoxiously warm ear-flap hat last winter at Cabela's though so it's not so much an issue anymore.

At 40F and only talking about walks to and from class it's not going to really matter. If you find yourself sensitive to something then take note and put those ones away for the winter.
It's been much colder than that here and I am not personally concerned about any of my jewelry. Lower than ~15F I would probably not wear my metal eyelets if they were going to be exposed to the cold for any amount of time. That said, at that point I will probably be wearing a hat, anyway.
The really horrifying cold-weather stories about stretched ears are generally from someone wearing metal tunnels exposed in very cold (colder than 40F) conditions. You just have to be aware of your body and think critically.

I live in Canadia and winter is generally -20C/-4F and gets as cold as -40C/F. I wear nothing in my lobes until February, and nothing metal in my stretched helix. And earflap hats!
