I may have set a personal low temp record Saturday afternoon: 16°F at 2:30PM, overcast, winds ~8mph...AccuWeather said the "RealFeel" was 3°. I did a 16 mile out&back just to do something on the bike, I was going stir-crazy.

Ibex short-sleeve merino wool base layer
Early Winters Furnace Shirt polypro longsleeve baselayer (middle layer?)
Performance long-sleeve waffle-knit hooded jersey
Performance fleece jacket w/ windblock front
Pearl Izumi cycling shorts
Pearl Izumi Amfib bib tights
SmartWool sock liners
SmartWool snowboarding socks
Answer winter cycling boots
polyester glove liners
big-ass Thinsulate-lined winter ski gloves
Performance polypro balaklava (yes, over the top of the jersey's hood)
helmet
glasses

I added a half-ounce of vodka to my 24 oz. water bottle so it didn't freeze. Fail. Not only did it freeze anyway, but what little water i could suck out of it tasted like vodka! Dumb idea.
