When I was commuting, it was in temps down to 40ish. Waterproof/breatheable jacket with pit zips. Gotta be pitzips. Love the pitzips! Also the 2-way zipper so you can zip 'er up to the middle-ish or top to protect your chest, then zip the bottom up to mid-chest to ventilate your lower torso a little, where the main wind impact is reduced. I wore my regular cargo pants for the commute (it was generally shortish) and rain pants (sadly, not breatheable) over those. Looking into tights and/or knee warmers this year.
I suffer through the summer all year 'long just waiting for the winter. I love winter biking. Cold water, that feeling of invincibility that comes with rain pelting your waterproof/breatheable jacket as you zip down the road, safely protected... Cold water in the vents of your helmet when you're so hot you're steaming, and the crisp smell of cold where others are hiding in their 2-ton fortresses of steel and glass.
...then again, I'm from Wisconsin, and have fond memories of sleeping balled up in snowdrifts as a kid...
