Each place will be a bit different. We have a lot of winter weather in the 30's and 40's. Occasionally down to the mid 20's at night.
I'm usually good with just a single layer of fleece or sweater + cycling jacket. If it gets cold, I zip up. Warmer, I open it a bit more. I do like waterproof ski gloves, but don't get too excited about warmers.
Good weatherproof winter cycling shoes are great.
