Lots of retroreflective tape, good gloves, and a bellaclava. When biking, you can wear much less insulate clothing than you would wear if you were just walking outside. Biking at -10 with just a long sleeve tshirt and a shell jacket is fine.

DO NOT skimp out on trying to be as visible as possible when you are riding in the dark, as you likely will need to ride in the dark if are commuting in the winter. I got a bright yellow biking jacket from MEC, and put a bunch of reflective tape all over my bike.
