Weather Channel sez it's been down to 26°F there in the last few days. That's not super cold but it does require at least full-finger gloves for me. I switch out of my half-finger gloves below about 35°F.
I do find it amusing to think about paying $80+ for a pair of gloves. I haven't paid more than $10 for a pair of gloves yet, and they've been OK for me down to -25°F. Not toasty warm at those temps, but not painfully cold either, just a little chilly.
Note, I *have* paid $80 for gloves before, but that was for skiing. It wasn't for warmth, but because I think skiing is a lot harder on gloves, especially if you use rope tows.
