I think the problem for some of us in during this most recent cold snap is expectations. I expect to freeze my booty off riding in December, but in April? That's just cruel. I feel like I'm in the middle of a really long April Fool's Day joke!
Yes I agree the wind chill makes it colder. High wind makes cold riding impossible, but wind under 15mph isn't so bad.
I do understand about the April Fool's joke. But I try to think of it as bonus time where we don't have to cut grass or do any weeding yet! I'm pretty much ignoring my gardens because they are still semi-hibernating. That gives me more time to blow off yard chores and get on my bike!
