When it gets cold I wear leather gloves, which I think is frowned upon by fashion but whatever works. Really cold and wet, thin liner-type gloves inside insulated ones, and a scarf or similar you can cover your neck and lower face with.
I've lived here a few years. The outside temp may reach sub freezing overnight but isn't usually to bad by 6am or so. And I was a person who worked outdoors for quite a while.

I'm pretty cold resistant, but this morning was not pleasant. 55 degree in a light summer T and cotton shorts. Thaaaaat was uncomfortable. Need to buy a couple long sleeve shirts clearly. I'll look at some thicker shorts or something. As tacky as this sounds, has anyone had luck with cutting sweatpants down, or similar?
