    Hey hey! Today was my first wintery commute. I wore my long fingered gloves, my terry knickers (wished I'd had my ibex wool instead!) some smartwool striped knee socks that I bought right here on TE, a lightweight smartwool cap and finally my rainypass raincoat that i bought here on TE.
    and it was NIPPY. oh, i wore a Merino wool sweater as well (lightweight )

    How chilly was it? I'm trying to get a sense of what gets worn at what temps.... Thanks!

    Becky, we're all different. It was in the middle to high 40's this morning.
    and below 40, I have a lot of trouble with eyes and nose running and glasses fogging up.

    Oh, absolutely! I'd have definitely wanted more than knicks in the 40s!

    I admire you for commuting in the 40s. That's my goal this winter, but I'm already whining about being chilly in the morning, and it's only in the 50s

    Ok, I am in the watery eye club. I'd like to wear some goggle style glasses this winter. Any suggestions?
