How do I stay warm and dry in the chilly (sometimes cold), wet winters in northern California? What things are necessities and what things are a waste of my money? Please give suggestions for the top of my head all the way down to the tips of my toes! Recommendations of specific brands are helpful, too.

It's been my experience that when choosing clothes for wear during inclement weather situations you have four concerns, they're affordable, keeps you dry, maintains your own level of comfort, and allows you to remain visible to motorists and pedestrians. Performancebike.com has a good selection of women's rain wear to look at, along with specs on what situations are best for those particular items. They're usually reasonable priced and if you like to shop around to compare prices before making purchases, performance bike also sells through through amazon.com.
I noticed a few guys plugging Goretex clothing. And while Goretex products are goods, if not the best, for cold and rainy days if you look at the listings on the Goretex website link provided below, they're not inexpensive in the least. The least expensive pair of waterproof pants is $100 dollars US, and the one they've made expressly for female bicyclists is twice that amount, so I'd really have to hope that those rainy days are vicious and often to justify the expense.
I can say this much confidently. If you get yourself a cap to wear under the helmet, a pair of pants and a jacket/coat that will keep your head and body dry from the rain, what you wear underneath will not matter in the least. The only concern you'll have is bicycle lighting, footwear, and socks at this point. And honestly, just about any type of comfortable waterproof footwear will do, if you're using regular pedals as opposed to clips. Best of luck to you. Ride smartly and safely.

Can i ride a 42cc go-ped in California at age 15 and a half with a permit only? Also what are the punishments for riding without a permit/license?
Answer
That's a hard one to answer. What do you consider a "go-ped"? If you mean a scooter that's motorized, then you need to be 16 before you can operate it.
Here is what the CHP's website says about them:
Motorized scooter
* Driver must be at least 16 years old.
* Effective 1/1/2005, a Class C driver's license or driver's permit is required.
* Effective 1/1/2005, a motorized scooter shall at all times be equipped with a muffler.
* Effective 1/1/2005, a person shall not modify the exhaust system of a motorized scooter in a manner that will amplify or increase the noise level emitted by the motor.
* Speed limit is 15 mph.
* Driver must wear a bicycle helmet
* Operation permitted on a bicycle path, trail or bikeway, unless there is a local ordinance prohibiting it.
* On the roadway with a posted speed limit of greater than 25 mph, driver must operate in Class II bicycle lane.
* On roads with a posted speed limit of 25 mph or less, riding in a bicycle lane is not required.
* Operator shall ride as close to the right curb as possible, except to pass or turn left
Check out this link to CHP's website. It has a lot of pictures and defines what they consider motorized scooters, motorized bikes, ETC.
