I was going to say - are you sure that you have enough air between the layers to actually insulate? That seems like a ridiculous amount of layers for the temperature - its 8 degrees not 1.
In addition to what skinny said about warming your hands up - warming the gloves up is also an option. You could also wear more layers on your core, which will definitely keep your hands warmer.

Yeah, they're fine when they go in. That reminds me of the drawback I found when I tried neoprene last time with the Castelli things. You needed to put warm hands into the gloves or they'd never warm up and because of this, once you put them on, you could never take them off.
I think the problem I have, other than shit circulation, is like Dammit...gloves that are too tight. I get in a vicious circle where my hands get cold so I use a liner. That in effect reduces the size of the glove and the insulating air which makes them cooler, so I stick glove and liner into an over-mitt, restricting my hands/free air even more.
