Have you tried putting one little disposable heat pack in your glove? I have used them when canoeing in sub freezing weather, wearing them inside of my rubber gloves when my hands were frequently wet with ice cold water helped a lot. But I have not seen a need for them when biking, ... yet.
Cold weather is tough on extremities. Your hands and feet are your body's radiators. If you are producing excessive heat, your feet and hands get sweaty because excess heat flowed to them. If you are not producing excessive heat, your body limits heat flow to hands and feet to conserve heat for the body core and head, then your hands and feet get very cold. Thus, there are times when I am biking in 20 degree weather where even with ski gloves my hands are cold and other times in the same weather that I take my gloves off to try to lose some of the excess heat I am generating. Sometimes I even bring thick mittens on a winter bike ride, but mittens do not work well for things like pushing buttons on my bike computer.
I have a handlebar bag, when I put my hands behind the bag to cut the wind, that helps a lot.
