I cycle to work everyday with my roadbike. My current job is quite close (only ~5-6km!) and below 1-2°C I wear my rain pants and only at like -10 and lower do I actually dig out the ski mask. For everything else my Oakley Jawbreakers work great.

Generally it's not as bad as many people think, it only becomes hard if the trip takes longer than an hour and temperatures are below -2 -5 degrees.

This. Short distances (~15 minutes of ride time) are very doable with no extra cycling-specific equipment, just a thicker jacket, pair of gloves and a warm hat. You kinda get used to it.
