Here on the southwest coast of Washington winter weather can be 36-53 F and high humidity (it's 97% and 53 F right now). If it is not raining it is usually in the low 40's or high 30's and I wear a light pile pullover under a pearl izumi jacket, full fingered mechanics gloves, long legged tights and a skull cap under the helmet. Also thicker socks. If it is raining (and usually warmer) I wear a Novara rain jacket over say a long sleeve T and if I'm out for less than 2-3 hours I usually don't wear rain paints and my tights and socks just get wet. I'm always sweating due to humidity and never stop for longer than a few minutes to avoid getting chilled. Out all day means total rainwear, foot covers, helmet cover.
