Go to Manzella.com.
We use their gloves for snowboarding & cold rides.
They make the best gloves we have found so far.

Hi, as a motorcycle training instructor i'm out all day every day (except in snow!). It took me a while to find a pair of decent warm gloves. If you have a Heine Gericke shop near you then go to there and invest in a pair of 3 fingered mitts. Approx £35 and the warmest pair of gloves i've ever owned. They just about keep mine and the other instructors hands warm for a constant 3 hour lesson!
Hope this helps

Get leather mittens, can't beat that, best for warmth would be natural sheepskin mitts, but you can get leather ones with some kind of lining. Avoid the ones with "thinsulate" thats just BS. Mitts can be put on or off in a flash, much faster and less finicky than gloves, and you can carry your car-keys or bus/subway ticket inside the mitts. Mitts have way fewer seems than gloves, and your fingers are divided and individually surounded by cold winter air; In mitts, your fingers are all together sharing the warmth of all the fingers and the palm of the hand. When in Eskimo weather, do as the Eskimos do. Mitts, not gloves.

I wear Hein Gericke 2 finger mittens, ( £35 ) very good and water proof, give reasonable feel through them, if very cold use a pair of thin inner gloves. As was also stated, mitts on handle bars are very very good, just don't look cool ( pardon the pun ), a must for any long journey. Safe biking.

I've got the same problem. My hands sometimes get cold in the middle of summer. I have not found a pair of winter gloves that will keep me warm. The heat packs (HotHands) work well, but they don't get my fingertips. I'm looking into heated gloves for myself. Lots of people use heated grips, but I don't think that will be enough for me. The heat will come into my palm, while the backs of my hands chill.

If you can't do the heated grips or gloves I have always found that mitts (IE the ones where all the fingers are in the same hole) are much warmer than fingered gloves. I believe its because there is less air circulating between your fingers or maybe your fingers keep each other warm.

I know how you feel, i remember my bike had heated grips and i once lost my gloves and had a 10 mile ride in the snow, i swear i could have snapped my fingers off if i tried by the time i got back.
I had to stop every 10 minutes and warm my hands off the exhaust.

If you're gonna make a habit of riding in this weather you'd be better off with handlebar muffs. Yes they do look sad but if you're commuting every day like wot I do they're a lifesaver. They're like wearing 3 or 4 pairs of gloves.
The Hein Gericke "lobster" gloves get lots of praise.
PS I've got heated grips & heated jacket as well. I'm just a creature of comfort that's all!

Rhino make good warm winter gloves, Go to your local showroom and have a look at what they have. You will most likely find a good warm waterproof pair for about £30 - £50

I use skiing gloves in the winter they have the thermal protection against the frost bite , but some people fit handlebar warmers they heat up the grips on your bars and run from the battery on your bike
