Yup, I've tried using leather gloves, mittens, those heat inserts and even wearing rubber galoshes over my shoes to keep out the cold wind (which wasn't that bad). But like you said, you're only delaying time from when the heat finally escapes and you're cold. And once that happens, you're pulling over for heat or risking your safety by staying on the road.
I'm trying to save up for some Gerbing gear.

Insoles (bike connection or battery) - http://gerbing.com/Products/insoles.php
Gloves (bike connection or battery) - http://gerbing.com/Products/Gloves/hybridGlove.php
Jacket liner (bike connection) - http://gerbing.com/Products/Liners/h...acketLiner.php
Pants liner (bike connection) - http://gerbing.com/Products/Liners/heatedPantsLiner.php
Each product is essentially $200 (though the insoles are $60). That's a lot but to be able to extend your riding season AND being very confortable during that extension may pay off in gas money and enjoyment. Plus, I'd be able to use the insoles and gloves at Chicago Bears games.
I haven't bought any of this yet. There are probably cheaper versions, not sure. And I might not even buy the exact jacket and pants liners either. Maybe the heated vest would be enough with the insoles and gloves. I have a pair of Scorpion Awe pants that are amazingly warm (probably down to 50 degrees for an extend amount of time....maybe more if I was getting extra heat from my hand, chest and feet).
However, once they salt those rodes in Chicago, riding season is done no matter what.

Keep in mind the way the human body works. If you keep the core warm, blood will continue to circulate to your extremities. This means you may not need to use the insoles and such. I live in central FL and ride year round. I realize that it's nothing compared to where some of you guys ride, our biggest advantage is that winter is dry season but I have ridden down into the low to mid 20' with just the heated jacket liner and gloves and a set of nice thermal long underwear. I actually have to switch it off when stopped at an intersection because it gets too hot. I don't have a temp controller on it though.
