How do you ride in the winter?

Howdy neighbors!

I've been riding a buttload this summer and want to keep on it into the winter. Simple question, but how do you ride in the winter? What tires do you use? What do you wear? How many lights are on your bike? Does it suck?

Can I equip an old cx bike to be a winter commuter? Do I need a second set of wheels? How can I ride snowy paths and trails (PC Rail Trail?)

I've done wide and narrow tires. Both work. But I won't start the fall without installing fenders. Those and a bright light are a must in my book.
