Chances are you're fine for down there in ABQ with glove layers. I reserve the mittens for below 5-10 degrees. In case it helps, my hands get colder on the bike than they do when I am running in the exact same conditions (as in I bike to the trail head, run, bike back). My hands need more warmth on the bike, I presume due to constriction from grip.
The danger with canvas at your likely temps is if it is wet snow, then the canvas will absorb moisture and you are worse off with them on. You may be better with a leather outer glove (what I do for gloves).
