Get some really comfortable waterproof trail shoes like Adidas Terrex or something from Oboz. Then put some gaiters like the ones below on.

I got some of these for when it really rains. They won't get everything but they really make a difference those few times it decides to pour.
No way! Another Michigander! 😀
Here’s a super long list of all the stuff I can think of. The biggest investment is probably a warm coat and shoes. The rest I found was reasonably priced at amazon/ target etc!
I got a down filled ski hoodie made by Spyder. I think it’s this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UWFH524/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_2lavDbC53WXZX
NorthFace and Patagonia sell them too. I just made sure the one I got was made for sub zero cold temps. Any thing 40 degrees and over and it’s too hot to wear so it’s definitely for cold weather.
Insulated running tights, sometimes I throw a pair of sweats over them if it’s crazy cold. You could even get wind stopper pants for over the top. That might be my next investment for layering.
I wear a long sleeve and short sleeve T-shirt underneath.
I have a thick winter buff for my neck that I can pull over my mouth if needed
A wool beanie with polar fleece lining that’s long enough to really cover my ears and good gloves. I use insulated trail running shoes and when it’s icy I put Yax trax on them https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0094GO6ZG

You can find cheaper brands on amazon.
And the last thing is a head lamp since it gets dark so damn early here. 😂
I tend to overdress and sometimes get a little hot but I’m kind of a baby about being cold.
I really enjoy going when it’s snowing. It’s so amazing and peaceful!
If you’re concerned about getting snow in your socks (I also usually wear smart wool or two pairs depending) you can buy gaitors: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J5NJ5TH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xpbvDbED217RQ
I’ve tried my husband’s but I don’t feel like I need them. I don’t go in deep snow or anything. There’s a plowed rails to trails type trail here that they keep pretty clean in the winter—the biggest concern is ice.
