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.
I use this cycling computer:

I even used it on my motorcycle. Works up to 99mph!
Also a great helmet mirror that was indispensable : http://www.amazon.com/Blackburn-01002-Bike-Helmet-Mirror/dp/B000BNTY58/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1299266867&sr=8-3
Its like a third eye on the back of your head. I hope this helps.
There's a mount that you can buy that velcros to your helmet and has a cylinder about the diameter of a bike handlebar. You put the light on the cylinder the same way it would go on the handlebar and run the wire down to your backpack.
