Hey there,
I live in Cincinnati and ride year round outside. I have a trainer but I would much rather stay outside. Where are you located?
I would recommend shoe covers first and a nice pair of full fingered gloves. Next on the list would be a balaclava. What are you wearing right now?

I'm very new at this, and I feel like the cold weather made me take a step back. I'd like to ride at least close to year round, as I know that it will be impossible to always avoid the cold and snow!

Thanks
