I can say ++++1 to just about every single thing that Mariposa said!
I even have that same Louis Garneau thin balaclava that works wonders. And the Brooks Nightlife vest....and....and....
(Except since I don't ride clipless I get to wear my nice warm insulated hiking boots with double thick wool socks so no problems for my feet at all.)

Awesome! Love it. So much great advice.
Only thing I can add is with the feet. I think they're the hardest to deal with. In the craziest cold weather, outside my sock layers, I put a plastic grocery shopping bag, which keeps a lot of warmth in, even with some sweating.
So, my order, from feet out: thin synthetic sock, neoprene sock (got on sale), toe warmer(s), outer wool/thermal sock, then grocery bag, shoe, then outer shoe covering. Voila! Toasty feet down to -5F (as cold as I've ridden in).
