I've several pairs of winter gloves and none have really worked for me below freezing.
Currently I wear a pair of of Specialized Element 2.0 gloves which are a half lobster glove. Specialized also do an Element 3.0 which is a full lobster glove and supposed to be warmer still. I opted for the 2.0 gloves for a bit of extra dexterity. Lobster style gloves are generally thought to be warmer as they reduce the surface area of the glove to the wind. Importantly these do not have liners that pull out when you remove the glove.
In addition to the Specialized Gloves I have a pair of Icebreaker Merino glove liners. This combination is better than the others I've tried but much below freezing and I'm still getting painful hands on my 40min commute (first 10-15 mins are OK but hands gradually getting colder, 10-15 mins of painfully cold hands, and then OK for the last 10 mins as I warm up and the feeling of warmth comes back to my fingers).
So this winter I've tried these

They are supplied in pairs and you can buy as little as a single pair on ebay to try them out. If you like them you can buy them in larger amounts and they work out cheaper - 20 pairs for instance will cost about 65p a pair.
It was -5C on my commute earlier this week (very icy but bike fitted with studded tyres). I fitted one between the liner glove and outer glove, and as far in to the glove on the back of each hand as they would go. They get surprisingly warm and the heat given off was enough to prevent the expected painful hands so I think I may have found a solution for me.
