Having problems with message search?
My trick is to over-layer, so I'm warm. Wear enough clothes, and it's like running in the 70's.
Ear warmers for really cold nights, otherwise just a hat.
Lined pants. They're heavier, but they keep the heat in.
Two shirts and a zip-up wind-breaker/rain jacket that I got at the 2002 marathon expo.
Usually within the first mile I'm sweating in that outfit, which is the way I like it in the cold. I'd rather make sure I'm hydrated while sweating than be shivering, but that's personal preference. In fact, the outfit can be quite overkill, but being too warm just means I sweat more, and that's fine with me.
Of course, the danger is, if you slow down and you're dripping in sweat, you're going to have problems with the cold. This works for me, but I could see how some might not like it.

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
