Layers are the way to go.
start with a good base layer (I like the croft base layer), a long sleeve jersey
and jacket. I have either tights or a few pair of full lenght bibs for legs.
If I'm starting early and it's cool out I use leg and arm warmers that I can remove
later as the day heats up.
I'm up in DFW area and only found 2 or 3 days that are actually too cold for me
to ride. I do draw the limit at winter precipitation (ice, snow) but thats more
a safety issue.
btw the tights and jacket don't have to be cycling specific, I've found a soft shell
jacket (marmot, north face, REI etc.) works just fine over a normal jersey.
