+1 - we haven't been above freezing for 2 1/2 weeks now and ice/compact snow on the side roads. Main roads are starting to clear but are narrow because of the ice on the shoulder so I haven't been brave enough to go out.
I haven't tried wool yet - but do use polypropylene long underwear tops as a base layer. It seems to wick moisture well. About 30 minutes after finishing a ride though I seem to get real cold.
