The part I've miscalculated is the el cheapo fleece I got from Wal-Mart (Yeah, bite me. Only place 'round these parts to buy stuff). The cool air cut right through. I've got a wind-breaker-esque jacket that I wear in wet weather. I'm thinking it may provide enough wind protection with the fleece and shirt under that. I'm also going to wear some old USMC glove-liners over the bike gloves and a beanie under the helmet. I've got neoprene ear muffs, but I don't think it's that bad yet.

That's my plan for tomorrow. We'll see how it works then
If all else fails, you'll probably be much happier with that fleece if you put it on with the zipper in the back. I'd bet most of the wind is coming in through the zipper. use ribbon or string to give you a means to reach the zipper if you go that route.
