One day in Feb it was caning it down with wet snow and temp was zero...
Sorry, but I had a good laugh at the bit about flapping around uncontrollably 
O/T - has anyone tried the Endura Full Monty gloves for cool temps? At £20 I guess I can't really go wrong...

sealskinz road cycling glove KJ541
as good as I've seen
got mine on amazon
Hope they're warmer than normal sealskinz! Not impressed with mine at all - you can almost feel the wind whistling straight through them and I'm not entirely convinced with the waterproofing either.as good as I've seen

Old ski gloves work for me.

I dug these out this morning: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Karting/Kartwear/Glo...
My old karting gloves, they are the best thing I have used, light enough for easy use with the gears and brakes but bloody warm and water proof!

Does anyone have any experience with these gloves:

I would like to keep my fingers warm on our Sunday morning rides, roughly 50 miles. So I need a pair of winter gloves or combination of inners & outers that work. What I like about these gloves are the gel pads on the palms of the gloves which do help on long rides.
Cheers.

Regarding Zeebedees question about the Endura Full Monty's, they're ok in cool temps, but for cold weather (like this morning) the wind gets through the backing.
I use my Monty's all through the summer, so it's probably a bit much to expect them to work in winter too.
Nice gloves though.

Thanks for that. They should be fine for what I want then which is actually wearing them when I'm out walking my dog.
I bought a pair of 'AeroShields' at the Earls Court Cycle show a couple of weeks ago from www.breezeblockers.com and I have to say they are really effective. I was a little sceptical at first about the way they look. But they beat any gloves by a mile. I would suggest checking them out. They also do products for the feet.
Worth remembering that half the battle in keeping hands and feet warm (and other extremities) is to keep the body core heat up. Good roubaix weight bib tights with bib shorts over, and a decent wicking base layer over the kidney area, all topped with a decent soft or hard shell jacket depending on precipitation and it won't be as much of a task to keep digits comfy 
I've actually found that the best option (from the gloves I have scattered around the house) is Berghaus Windstopper gloves. Not padded with Gel, but I'm not bothered by that. Gore Windstopper is some sort of wind-resistant fleece. They wear well (better than most specific MTB gloves) and they are toasty.
Living in Malvern, I tend to ride up a steep 300m climb to start the ride, so I don't find being cold is much of a problem (even in winter 08).
