Shorts over tights and a merino wool top. I'd probably start with a thin hat and gloves but depending on the run and wind might lose them after I warm up.
The windchill is more important than just the temp. Typically, shorts, a long sleeve and either a jacket or second shirt over it dending on wind. Medium thickness gloves and maybe light gloves under depending on wind. Maybe a thermal headband if it feels much colder with the windchill, but probs not.
Oh yes, wind is a major factor in my neck of the woods. Luckily today the wind is calm and only a light 4mph breeze from the north. I'm thinking of wearing: long tights, merino wool base layer, vest, beanie, gloves, sunglasses.
brrr. 32 degrees today. Full cloud coverage. Winds 5-10 mph from the NE. Feels like 29 degrees out. What would you wear on your run outside today?
Running pants
Long sleeve shirt with a bit of thickness or a thinner long sleeve over a tech short sleeve
Thin gloves
Running cap (not winter-specific, more like a breathable ball-cap)
I run on the hot side though—sweat a lot and am sensitive to overheating. Recently on some runs in the mid-30s I’ve worn gloves and started feeling like crap, before taking them off and seeing my HR plummet 12 bpm and becoming perfectly comfortable.

I run hot too and will likely start with gloves and a beanie on and remove them after the first 10 minutes or so of the run.
I just ran outside for about an hour with Nike fleece lined running tights with Asics briefs, long sleeve, mittens, and my unlined Hind running jacket. Temps around 23F with medium snow.
Was very comfortable.
