We have similar winter temperatures. The easiest and most cost effective bottoms solution for me is generic running tights over bib shorts. I also have a couple pair of roubaix-material bib knickers which I bought for CX racing but they're also good for those temps. Wear long wool socks when it's too cold for bare shins.
