Thanks for the advice on both items. I thought it was weird that it cost less to get Conti tyres from the U.K. than from REI here until I realized that Continental is a European company. I have their Sport Contact tyres on my car. They work great. 
As for the gloves, I just got a pair of Giro gloves that's rated for 30 degrees. I do plan on returning them as I got them for immediate necessity. I'm wondering about how the glove liners work, though. My regular gloves fit pretty tight and may not have enough room for liners.

Having seen a news report on the Jingle Bell Run on NWCN, nary a snowflake and their anchor Robb Piercy as the grand marshal in a convertable (himself a dual hip replacement patient with severe arthritis problems and the run is to benefit arthritis treatment)...
I think you don't have to go too extreme just yet...you aren't getting the pounding the rest of Washington and Oregon are.

The ones I've been using lately are Ibex stretch merino, because I got them on sale, which made them the least expensive quality ones I could find.
