Here is my list I made for another post. It works from 60 to -10 or so.
Here are my recommendations for surviving a Boston winter:
Bibs, Base Layer, Leg Warmers, Arm Warmers, Thermal Jersey, Jacket, Helmet Cover, Toe Cover, Shoe Cover, Gloves, Balaclava & Socks.
This is almost exclusively Pearl Izumi because it fits me, I can get a good deal on most of it if I wait to buy and the quality is amazing. It is not cheap but I rode almost every week outdoors last year during one of the worst winters we have had in a long time.
Also, do yourself a favor and get a rear fender and wet chain lube. Also staying hydrated is very important as anyone would tell you but it is hard to drink cold water when it is cold so I find this stuff from Skratch Labs really helps. Be prepared to a lot more drive train maintenance due to the salt and sand you will get in your chain and cassette.
Let me know what you have questions on and I will be happy to report back. I don't use all of this on every ride, it is weather dependent but in the middle of winter, I certainly like being able to bundle up and then remove a layer or unzip when needed. It makes riding fun when the thermometer dips below 15°F.
The problem is that most alternatives either won't provide a barrier to the wind or don't breathe at all. Either is a significant problem when cycling. There's also a few other features that are nice (cut so they don't bunch up much behind the knees and don't slide down the leg).
I use Pearl Izumi leg warmers which are a relatively inexpensive $45.
If that's outside your budget, look into running gear. It either needs to be tight-fitting (to keep it out of the chainrings) or you could use a strap around your ankle.

Maybe something like this will work for you.
