I run in shorts until -20. Honestly you dont need anything fancy, just wear layers. You aren't setting any records running in snow anyway.
Shorts in -20? Wow. I don't think I've seen anyone wear shorts below -10, and I'm out there every day. I wear a base layer and sweats at that temperature, two layers on top, a balaclava, ski gloves.

A vote here for the Icebugs. Love those. My routes typically involve an icy hill, though. It's more an insurance policy than a necessity. As an older (50yo) runner, I leave nothing to chance where injuries are concerned.
