I don't tend to have problems with keeping my extremities warm. However, maybe that's because I do a good job dealing with them. I've got two sets of long-finger gloves -- Pearl Izumi gels for cool temps, and PI Pittards for colder temps. The Pittards are large enough that I can wear another pair of thin wicking gloves under them. The extra inner pair of gloves seems to really help, and you can always take them off if the temps warm up during a ride.
Also, REI has a very good selection of gloves. Pearl Izumi have some new lines of winter gloves that seem like very good values, and I will probably buy a new set soon. I can't remember the specific model names, but REI had several different styles of PI gloves that cost about $40 a pair. They looked warmer than my current PI gloves but weren't too bulky.
BTW, I live in Raleigh, and there are REI stores at Cary Crossroads, North Hills in Raleigh, and perhaps another location in the Durham area.
