Waterproof gloves.
I know you said you have shoes, but these covers are reasonable. I'm not a huge fan of the color, but winter above the 45 parallel is a dark time of the year and a little extra "I'M HERE" never hurts.
This jacket might seem a little expensive, however I own a few Shower Pass items and cannot say enough good stuff about the quality, durability and comfort of their gear. In my book, they are one of the best wet weather bike clothing outfits around.
There are a TON of options for lighting. Basically you want something on the front that is 400 Lumen or better. For the rear, I've been buying Cygolite's Hot Shot for years. They've always delivered and I've actually had several riders comment on how visible they make me to traffic.
Not sure if that model Schwinn has braze ons for a rear rack? Would strongly recommend adding one and getting a bag if you do. It's really nice not having the weight on one's back in the wet. Good luck, and welcome to the non-fair weather cycling gang. :D
My Portland rainy season VIP pieces of gear:
Vis 360 helmet light - Especially when it gets dark, this makes such a big difference navigating downtown. Cars see me much easier since the lights are up higher, and not fixed, and it's nice to have more visibility on the potholes and road debris.
Prana Stretch Zion pants - Not waterproof, but water-resistant, and very quick drying. Snaps for rolling up pant legs. Gusseted crotch so you're not sitting on a seam. Breathable and ventilated. Super durable. And they look like normal pants. They're also great for hiking.
Marmot Precip Jacket - I have a hard time buying a bike-specific jacket, a hiking jacket, and a snowsports jacket. So this one does triple duty for hiking, biking, and just walking around. Cheap, waterproof, breathable, and lots of venting options.
Icebreaker BodyFitZone long sleeve crew - Spendy if it's not on sale, but so comfy. Merino wool is basically the fabric of the elves. Keeps you warm when it's cold, breathes well so you won't overheat when it's warm, and doesn't stink even after days of riding.
I was just looking at bikes on craigslist yesterday. There are a ton of great bikes to be had. Sometimes you find the "I got this bike thinking I was going to ride it but it's just been sitting in my garage so I'm selling it for $75" or "Love my bike but I have to move and it needs to be sold right now. $100 obo." Also, I saw one guy that does refurbs on classic bikes and gets all the parts in excellent working order. If you got an 80's era schwinn or something that was all tuned and ready to go, you'd be in great shape.
EDIT: Also I looked on ebay and found a ton. In addition, if you're dead set on a new bike, try amazon.com and search by highest rated bikes. You could do the same at REI, but they'll be more expensive I think. EDIT AGAIN: Like this new Schwinn from Amazon: http://amzn.com/B0030U8SU6
My setup, that I've been rocking for a couple of years with a few improvements ahead of this winter:
Showers Pass Crosspoint Softshell gloves (add glove liners for colder days, use glove liner only for warmer/drier days). Probably want to go one size up from a snug fit to accommodate the liners. I love these gloves SO MUCH. Best pair of gloves I've ever owned, of any kind, hands-down. I just bought a second pair for backpacking and general winter thrashing.
REI's house brand rain pants and suspenders instead of the drawstring that most pants come with (the brand doesn't matter a whole lot as long as it's a 2.5 layer fabric and you like the fit)
Showers Pass Refuge jacket. As above, what really matters here is the 2.5 layer construction and whatever fit you like. If you just get 2- or 1.5- layer gear, the PU waterproof liner rubs off and you're stuck endlessly re-applying Nikwax for sub-par waterproofing.
Historically I've used PowerGrips toe straps and waterproof Rockport Rugged Bucks dress shoes or low-top hiking boots, but this year I picked up a pair of Giro Alpineduro waterproof cycling boots that take SPD clips.
When it gets colder I use a balaclava (this Nordic style one from The Friendly Swede), when it's warmer I'll use one of those ear-covering headbands kinda like this one and a wool Buff.
When it's raining cats and dogs, I wear these lightweight trail running gaiters to keep the splashes out of my low-top shoes.
It all really depends on what level of comfort you want/need. Like any type of outdoor gear, you can spend stupid amounts of money. This one seems really well reviewed and is very inexpensive. Plus it's lighter than even the lightest, most expensive tents.
It wouldn't work for winter camping, but you could buy some netting and something like this and have a really nice set-up for less than $100. Heck, even a tarp and rope could make a serviceable rain fly. It might not pack up really small for the bike, but it's better than nothing.
You're right, it has been 5 days.
At this point, I'm not interested in sending it in because of the lack-of-response when I asked for a quote/estimate. I'm not going to pay shipping and agree to some arbitrary charge that I have no idea the cost of. When I contacted them, I was assuming my options were:
I'm pretty certain the issue with my light is the battery is shot, all I was looking for from customer service was troubleshooting confirmation so I could purchase a new battery with a little more confidence. What I don't want to do is pay $5 for shipping, and have them charge me $30+ for a new battery and then them ask for me to pay to ship it back.
I can't imagine so, I think these would fall apart immediately in water.
edit: something more like this
I'm a fan of this stuff - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RKXWQC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 - haven't seen it at any shops here in PDX.

Tips for the eye wear:
THE STEED
THE 'STACHES
THE K-CO$T
DONATE ALREADY
This one looks nice
This is another option. I use these spoke reflectors . My rims also have reflective tape.
