Thick khakis with thin sweatpants underneath are a pretty good alternative to lined pants.
Like the other guy was saying, wool socks and a ski jacket also make a big difference.
It's also possible to get completely comfy in 20° F with high wind, by either going the snowboarder route (earmuffs, goggles, etc) or by spending a bit more and get a full face longboarding or skydiving helmet (much lighter/smaller than a motorcycle helmet).
Ski helmets are also really good!
Something like this, doesn't look too much out of place and you can remove padding and open vents a bit more if needed. Picked up non-mips version on sale some years ago for like 80e
