Glynis27... you need to get some pogies... or, as i call them, handlebar mitss.... i got my pogies off of ebay.. they are by quadboss and are made for quads and sno machines...

here is a link to camo ones.... mine are black

well worth the expense... my hands never get cold and i bike at an average of -25c most of the winter... in fact, i used to wear big gloves and downscaled because my hands were too hot... i guess you could use them in rain too!
