-3C with a 25kph headwind and freezing drizzle. The drizzle was freezing on my glasses making it difficult to see, especially when there were oncoming headlights. the roads weren't slippery on the way in, but seemed more icy when I walked across the street for breakfast. Maybe it will be melted before I leave at lunch.

My feet were getting cold, so I might want to start wearing my winter boots on colder days. My thumbs were getting very cold near the end of the ride. I think that was partly due to using flat bars the whole way, since I haven't got my Ergon bar ends yet.

Raising my seat post 1/4" before heading home last night made a huge difference. Since I haven't got my rack yet, I've been riding with a backpack the last 3 days. It hasn't been too bad, but the only backpack I have that I'd want to ride with can't hold very much.
