I just wear a pair of merino briefs under them, and that does the job down to 10 degrees or so.
Sounds good, especially the wind shell, Resisting rain can be an impossible task, but I presume I would wear them below 32
°F, where water resistance to snow would be a benefit.
I do have rain pants for temps above that, worn with a base layer of a weight depending on the temperature.

Last week in a heavier consistent rain there were good for about 10 minutes before I felt the cold damp rain on my thighs.
