Hi there,
I've been commuting every day from Brooklyn to Manhattan since around April. I'm happy, and I want to bike through the winter. But today, temperatures are going to be in the 20s, is windy as hell and I kinda feel sick from the ride back home yesterday. I guess it's the moment to invest some money in winter gear. I know layering is the rule, but I'm totally lost here. I've seen some jackets that seem ok, like these ones -But i'm insure whether this will be enough protection through nYC winter:

I also have a very think windbreaker and I do own one of these, but I doubt it's enough for biking:

Also, I commute to University, and don't have an office there where I can get changed and just store my clothes, so I'd like to know if there are actually clothes that I can just wear on the road and off the bike... Totally lost, as you see.
The only thing I know for sure is that I'm getting a balaclava and some thermal socks, but that's pretty much all. Any advice would be gretaly appreciated.
Thanks!
