The biggest thing for me is the right mix of clothing as cycling makes you sweat but then you are bundling up so all the sweat stays in your clothes. I'm going to have to experiment.
I'm going to wear a snowboarding helmet that has the ear flaps and extra insulation in the helmet to keep warm.

If you ski/snowboard or maybe you're a runner, just dress like you would for that -- generally speaking, there are similar effort levels and issues to deal with (other than hands, get some bar mitts because hands seem to get colder cycling than they do for other activities).
And as Northendzone said, avoid cotton. Cotton kills...
