Does anyone have any experience with electric heated gloves for snow blowing? I finally broke down and got a snowblower and after 15 minutes at 4 degrees my hand hurt like hell.

I have a set, they're worlds better than ordinary gloves no matter how thick. Also super handy for running errands in the winter, I can leave them in the vehicle on low and when I get back in with freezing cold hands from doing something I couldn't wear gloves for, I have preheated gloves ready. They run on ordinary USB power packs that fit into pockets in the wrists, if the ones that came with the gloves fail, any power pack of about the right size can replace them.
Used mine heavily today in fact, it was -13C outside...
I was just gifted a pair of heated Hestra gloves and they are excellent. As they should be for ~$280. 4 heat settings and very well made.

Only heated gloves for men I see on their website is $425.00 Ouch!
I got mine for about $130, but they seem to be out of production now. They're like these, except they use USB power packs instead of direct-wired batteries:

I don't have Electric gloves for snowblowinging but do have a pair of mitten gloves. They are "gloved" fingers inside a mitten. It has to be really cold for my hands to not sweat. Gortex type material with gauntlets, ski / snowboard clothing. They are expensive but not as bad as electric
The gloves are interesting, but for the cost im thinking I Might give these a try:
If you have a better electric start on lights equipped on your snowblower you might be able to use 12v heated grips and a set of these:
Just posting to say give mittens a shot if you have only used gloves.
Dads snowblower has heated handles. I'm jealous.
EDIT: I have also been seeing these things used by some in super cold ice rinks. Stick them in some oversized mittens. Might be worth a shot and cheaper than gloves.
