What is (or if rectified, was) the weak link that kept you from riding in comfort when it got cold outside? That is, was there some part of your body that no matter what equipment, tips, etc. that just wouldn't stay warm enough to safely ride through the winter? (i.e. frostbite or hypothermia issues). What steps did you take to figure out something that worked, or did you give up riding in certain cold temperatures?
Feet are the most uncomfortable, but now tolerable with new neoprene boots. Fogging eyeglasses with goggles were the most hazardous but now solved. See:

I've been so persistent in my quest to present my solution, that I am now a nominee for the The First Annual Pcad BF Road Cycling Futility Award ;-)
Edit: I just noted on the poll that no one listed face (other than eyes) as a problem. I think it is facial coverings that force the moist air up into goggles and eyeglasses to cause fogging.
