Mittens keep your hands much warmer since all your fingers are together and share heat. Plus there's less surface area for the heat to escape from.
Dunno if it gets cold enough for long enough there for it to matter, but here a set of mittens makes shovelling the snow on a sub-zero day much less horrid.
