I know. I'm a bit of a freak. I'm always the warmest person in the room. Always the one who wants to crank up the A/C or open a window or...

Honestly, once the blood gets flowing it's not bad. Ideally, I need some full-fingered gloves that breathe a little. I think that'd be ideal for these situations. As it is, impermeable leather full fingers (read VERY sweaty) vs. half-fingered cycling gloves (a little cold at first), I've been going for the half-fingers when the temps were closer to freezing (25+F). Today was the first day I knew that would be cold on my finger so much it hurt, thus the full fingers, at least for a while.
