Not that dissimilar to my own rules.
Above 5C: normal/light gear
0 to 5C: add light beanie and gloves
-5 to 5C: add long-sleeved shirt (over compression T) and tights
-10 to -5C: jacket instead of shirt, warmer gloves
-15 to -10C: balaclava-style mask instead of beanie
Below -15C: just don't
I'll often go "down" a level if it's windy and/or moist, "up" half a level if it's an unusually short/fast run. The main thing is that as long as I wear the right gear I actually prefer winter running. It's quiet, it's scenic, and I have control over my heat level. What I really hate is the hot humid days of summer, which I can't do anything about.
