Good waterproof panniers available from Ortlieb, and REI's house brand (Novara).
I use an Arkel "Bug" commuter backpack. Most days I don't put a cover on it, but if it's really raining I put a little $15 waterproof cover on it.
Fenders + rain jacket + dry feet + warm hands, you can ride all year round.
