Are you on a bike with curved (road) or flat handlebars? If you want more than gloves and are on a flat bar bike you could try some paddling pogies, like these: http://nrsweb.resultspage.com/boating/Pogies I don't think they'd work on road bars, though.

Oh goodness, I surely wear gloves. It's around freezing already
But the (flat) handlebars have rubber grips, and moving my hands from the grips to the metal brake levers I can feel the difference, the metal leads heat away from even my gloved hands faster. I figured a layer of tape might be a more elegant solution than breaking out the big fat lobster gloves aka boxing gloves... At the moment I'm wearing xc skiing gloves with thin wool liner gloves underneath, and still have a little dexterity left.
Think I'll give it a try

Can you get Lizard Skin products over there? I'd want my levers covered also.
