Winter vs. Summer Gloves

Hey everyone.

I was thinking about investing in a decent pair of cycling gloves. I really liked the feel of the Bell PRO-GEL but then I was thinking...it gets pretty cold here in the winter and I don't want to freeze my fingers off!

Being a new cycler, I've never cycled in extremely cold/less than desirable conditions, so I don't have any experience in this department.

Does something like this prevent you from freezing to death in the winter or do you find you need something different/better? Do you find that typical winter gloves provide enough padding as compared to the fingerless cycling gloves? Do you wear winter gloves over cycling gloves? Trying to figure out whether I should invest in 2 sets of cycling gloves, 1 set of fingerless cycling gloves and some winter gloves, or whether most people's hands stay relatively warm!

Thanks!
