My 1st piece of advice would be.... Move to Arizona!
Since your not going to do that, I'll give some real world advice.
Back when I was a motorcycle messanger in Washington D.C., and had to ride 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year regardless of the weather, , I used "Hippo Hands" on the bike in winter. Yes, they do spoil the looks of the bike, but they keep your hands warm and dry. And you can wear a regular leather glove under them, no need for big bulky gloves that make working the controlls difficult. Plus you can take them off in like 15 seconds.
I found some here... scroll down below the switchblade comb and pomade...
Hippo hands
Im certain if you look around you can find a real high quality set for a good price.
