Sealskinz do a decent pair of waterproof cycling gloves. Not too bulky and
warm enough for me. Got a pair from Santa and have been very happy with them
so far. Most outdoor shops (Blacks) will sell them or I'm sure Google can
come up with some online places.

I agree, use the same layering approach for your hands as for your
body. Thin liner gloves, cheap thick fleecy gloves and waterproof
overmits. You can then mix and match as conditions change. I made
snowballs and snowmen for half an hour and then cycled for another
half hour in the snow last week and my hands were still toasty warm by
the end.
