RE: Keeping warm--I had on more or less enough layers to keep the water from reaching my skin, but by no means water proof. Actually, I think the layer of ice covering me helped keep me warm.
With shorter rides (under 15 miles) I'm typically warm enough, like this PM commute a few years ago.

I wish I took a pic of my shoes coated ice!
The earlier pic I posted was from a metric century ride, the forecast was for light snow but I got that freezing rain for most of the ride. That was
challenging to keep the cold wet way from my hands and feet.
