Thank you for your great responses!
Crompsin - I've never heard of a neck-gaiter before. I did a quick search and they seem incredibly handy.
Jazz - I will start looking at wind jackets. Thank you for the advice about layering. I will be sure to have running tights and wind pants both. I'm going to have to practice my short runs without water - I tend to take a sip or two every half mile to keep my throat moist. I wouldn't have thought of planning my route around the wind. Thank you for this advice. You wrote an incredibly descriptive post. It's a lot to take in but incredibly helpful.
Pony - (I love your new name) Thank you for the advice about black ice. I never considered trails in the winter. I assumed it'd be best to stick to areas that are regularly plowed. I'll have to see what the woods are like when we get into town. I'll PM you with a few routes that I'm considering.
