Also works great for this transitional time of year when the morning commute is in the 40s, but the evening commute is in the 50s, 60s, or even 70s.
I like keeping just one pair of spendy cycling-specific gloves in use, and adding the Target jogging gloves on top for warmth which are machine washable and easy replaced when worn out.
I do this too, with a Weatherproof® glove over a Descente fingerless glove. It's water-resistant and wind resistant, which is good enough for me. This combo works down to the mid-30's and doesn't get too hot.
If it's cold and raining, I generally don't ride in, because cold+wet+dark=not much fun
