Awesome thread.
Snow/ice keep me off the bike, but that's not something we get all that much of. The bigger obstacle is the wind. I've biked down to 5 F on a calm day, but if the wind is 20mph or more and the temp is very much under freezing, it's just too much for me. And we get a fair bit of wind in the winter here.
What I've worked hardest to do is find ways to keep hands and feet warm. Multiple layers of gloves/mittens help a lot. For my feet, I have a fantastically warm pair of boots, with room for multiple layers of socks, but they're so huge that I have to take my toe clips off.
Then there's the problem of my glasses fogging up; haven't really figured that one out yet. But who really needs to see where they're going, anyway?
