Riding in cold weather, HELP!

Ok, so I rode to work yesterday and man was it cold. The NOAA reported the temperatures last night at 30 degrees Fahrenheit, 15 mph windchill put it around 22 degrees which was very very unpleasant. I know a bunch of you are from canadialand/kanookistan or whatever you call it and I want to know what you guys do to stay warm when riding in cold weather. I have a gortex jacket that I wear with a fleece under jacket and full finger gloves under my biking gloves but it was still freaking cold as all get out.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm determined not to drive anywhere that is within 5 miles of my apartment so I need to learn to stay warm, at least until it warms up a bit...trouble is, the temperature where I live can't make up it's mind. I left for work and it was 75F, who knew it was going to drop 25F in 4 hours!!!?
