My cold weather attire looks a lot like Taters except that I use buffs for my head and face (sometimes polar ones when temps are below 30). My commute is 13 miles, but hilly enough that I exert enough to stay warm. Getting caught at the long traffic lights are killer though!

This has been our coldest week yet but since I got a new 'go fast' bike, I've been skipping my commute in the interest of lunch time rides. I figure I've got 2 weeks to make absolutely sure that this is the bike for me, so I'm riding it as much as possible (I won't commute in the dark on these tires...too much debris). Because of this, my coldest commute is still around 35 degrees even though it's been in the low 20's in the morning this week.

We also don't get much snow here...so I don't see that slowing me down much. I can say that I will NOT ride in the freezing rain. Apparently, in NC, 32 degrees does not mean snow! It can be in the upper 20's and still be raining...then the water freezes when it hits surfaces, like car windows, roads, trees, etc. No way I'd be out on a bike in that.
