Having problems with message search?
4 years ago, I was also struggling, and went to jack rabbit and asked them to sell me a cheap solution for the cold.
They sold me tights, two layers of synthetic clothing for my body. Moreover, I wear cheap gloves and a headband in synthetic material (fleece). If it is really cold, I add a fleece sweater.
Since then, running in the coldest temperatures, no problem. Everything together set me back some 100 dollars. However, as I have put on some weight the tights are getting very tight now.
The best solution against the cold seems to increase mileage. I have experienced that, whenever I train more than 3 times a week more then seven miles, I don't suffer from cold, even not at home, while walking, etc. Running less, and I suffer everywhere.

Wear several layers. First layer I recommend underarmor or something tightfitting and warm so that bodyheat does not escape or cold air come from your waist.
Over that, some type of fleece, heavier and warmer. Last layer should be a light shell windbreaker. HInd, Sugoi make great ones.
A hat--stop heat from escaping through your head.
Warm running tights.
Gloves with heat warmers inside. Cover these with mittens.
Special running clothes are rather pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Best place in Brooklyn for running stuff is JackRabbit (Park Slope on 7th). Just
Happy (warm!) running
