My hands get cold if my core temp gets too cold. To keep that from happening, I use:
-a thin toque
-wicking shirt + fleece half-zip + windbreaker jacket
-windbreaker style pants (I find them much warmer than tights, especially if there is any wind)
-fleece gloves/mittens
Last winter I used the gear above in temps down to -20 and was quite comfortable. IMO you will be much more comfortable being a little over-dressed than under-dressed. Also keep in mind that you don't need to drop a ton of $ on running-specific gear; the toque I use is the same one I use under my ski helmet, the fleece half-zip was $5 at Zellers and the pants were $20 at Winners....save your $ for a decent pair of shoes.
