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.
This winter I'm using MTB full-finger (non-insulated) gloves under a pair of fleece flip-over mittens. The combo allows for some temperature modulation and seems to be doing the trick so far.

This is why I'm rockin' the belt-drive/IGH setup this year:
