There are two times all day I get nekkid when the temperature in the house is below 67°, and one of them is to jump right into a hot shower. I do NOT look forward to dressing for a run or ride when I'm already freezing.
    How about a space heater? I have one in my bathroom because the genius who renovated this house didn't put a heat vent in there.

    In some ways, cold weather saves me time getting ready- no need for sunscreen! I figure it's probably a wash time-wise, though there's definitely more stuff to keep track of.

    I need to splurge on some wool knee socks to wear with knickers this year. I have an adversion to tights until it's in the 40s, but I hate having cold calves at the start.

    I have one, too, downstairs in what used to be my workout room. It might be the changing room now.
