Long rubber gloves are amazingly warm. I used some during a river
cleanup recently. A couple of winters ago I tried dishwashing gloves
over poplypro glove liners on a February trip (in North Georgia, which
of course is not that cold, maybe 40F). I had to take the liners off
pretty quickly.

Don't bother tying them off to make them waterproof. Perspiration from
your hands will make them very wet inside, even in cold temps.
