That is so true! I decided my cut-off this winter would be 25*F. Well, 25 came and went, and it was just easier to put up with the cold and bike, such a hassle to drop off kid/husband and park and all that. So I reset my cut-off to 20*F. Which came and went and found me still riding. After that I didn't bother setting a cut-off, and rode even when it was under 10*F, the pain was just easier to deal with than logistics of driving!

Consider getting a reflective road vest if you don't already. If you'll be riding in the dusk or dark, lights are absolutely necessary so that cars will see you. You really can't have too many lights!
