I have been commuting to work for about 1 1/2 years now and between living in the desert and working 10 days a month, have not had to ride in the rain much. That said, I had the idea to coat a pair of cheap nylon warmup pants with silicone spray for some waterproofing before plunking down cash for true waterproof pants.

Rode into work one morning, was not raining too hard but the newly water resistant pants acted as a wonderful funnel for the water down into my shoes.

Besides fenders, which I do not have but plan to acquire, what to do for the transition between shoe and pants? I was thinking gaiters.
