RE: Lets talk about cold weather
There was a thread with alot more posts than this not too long ago. I made a really long reply there. Search for that for more help. basically:
Winter gloves are warmer during riding than riding gloves.
Wear long undeies under whatever you wear.
get something to cover your chin/neck. even a hole cut out of a beanie will work. << That is the thing that helps most that I can think of.
Wear layers from socks to shirts.
Duck under the screen as much as you can safely.

I just bought a pair of motoGP riding pants from Newenough.com with an insulated line, can't even feel the cold. My Cortech GX-Air mesh jacket has a windproof and thermal layer. Winter riding gloves, and a neck/nose thingy I got at a outdoor store. Simple enough, pants zip to jacket. I'm not even a little bit cold, the air inside the helmet is cold, but since my mouth is covered, I keep alot of the heat and moisture in. I could ride as long as the tires stick, But it's still above 30-40 at night in DC... Riding pants, even leather ones with a nice mesh liner will help cut the cold a ton. Thermal layers (poofy quilt type stuff) really really help.

...as a Maine rider myself i found that jeans are def bad. At the end of a ride they feel stiff like they're iced over and wicked cold. As a decent substitute for riding pants I wear Carhartt double knee work pants..they work good.
