I posted something 2 and 7 years ago, but it may be worth repeating again:

I find that goggles are essential when it's below about 20 F.  They make 
cold-weather cycling much more pleasant.  I found some clear ones at a 
motorcycle shop which were large enough to fit over glasses.  I had to improve 
the ventilation by punching a row of holes along the top of the lens and 
removing some of the foam from the sides and bottom.  The glasses only fog up 
under particularly bad conditions.  Those who don't wear glasses won't have as 
much trouble with fogging.

The motorcycle goggles were the only ones I have found with clear lenses which 
would fit over glasses.  Just hold your nose, and go to Engelhart (or some 
other place where they sell toys with infernal combustion engines).  I used a 
sheet-metal punch to punch the holes in the top of the lens.  I used 5/16" 
diameter holes spaced 1/2" center to center, a row of 13 across the top of the 
lens.  If you don't have access to one, a shoe repair shop may be able to punch 
them with a leather punch.  I would carefully mark the location of each hole 
first.
