I've got the same issue. Although I feel I can generally analyze the weather data fairly well in the morning, I need a pair of "mama bear" gloves. My baby bear gloves: PB Aries fingerless; my pap bear gloves, a black leather number I've had laying around for a couple years and am now using for colder weather commuting. Today I needed mama bear gloves - something in the Goldilocks zone - more protection than my Aries, but not as much as the leather. Full finger bike or light work gloves are the answer, I suppose.

Sweaty hands aside, it was a good commute both last night and this morning (28* w/ 16* wind chill). Now, I've gotten used to the colder temps just in time for a forecast 50* high Friday. That's gonna seem downright tropical by comparison to the last few weeks!
