Glove. Lots of winter gloves have an absorbent patch for just that purpose. When my nose runs because of the cold, it's very thin and drippy (TMI yet?) and not suitable for snot rockets. I blow plenty of those in warmer weather...

Snot rockets- lots of them!
My nose get way too chafed and raw if I wipe it on my sleeve or glove, especially in cold weather. It took some practice, but I've gotten pretty good at the ol' SR![]()
Ditto! It's the option I most frequently use.
If the wind direction and/or position of other riders does not permit snot rockets, I'll generally wipe with the back of a glove and then wipe that on my tights or wind pants. I'd rather have it dry there than on my gloves, where it irritates my nose as the ride goes on.
Have also tied a bandana around my arm when I'm riding with a cold and know the nose will be particularly cantankerous.

I accessorize my winter cycling jacket with a beautiful bandana tied around my neck to keep my nose dry. Cycling gloves and snot rockets aren't enough for my nose.
also one for snot-rockets and gloves!(any time of the year)
I've heard of putting an old sock over your glove as a hankie.
I tuck a hankie in my jacket pocket, but all my rides are 3-5 miles, so I might be drippy by the time I stop & get to my hankie but otherwise ok. I use my gloves too.
