I have about a 3 mile commute which is now down hill on the way there. Coming home will be more of an effort but really only 1 hill where I'll have to work but no biggy on sweating on the way home.

The reason I seem to sweat is because if someone passes me I can't help but try to catch them and draft off them for the remaining distance. I guess I can change that and easily go in regular clothes. I liked what swrve had to offer for their wet weather jeans and I can put it together with some wool uppers with a good cycling jacket like C1nko was talking about I think I should be good.

The initial costs will be high for the proper clothing, to look good in that is. I have many BDU's and DCU's but I couldn't bring myself to wear those to school for some reason. It is a good thought though.

The weekly forecast highs is as follows : W- 57 Th - 48 F - 45 Sa- 35 Su - 35 M - 40

So today is nice but as the week and season gets on it is going to get a lot cooler. I definitely will need to invest in fenders and some sort of gortex shoes or something to keep the muck off.

Thanks for all your thoughts, I really appreciate it. I just need to grow a pair and start commuting in the winter no matter what but the fear of being uncomfortable is the main reason why I haven't tried it yet. If I work it out and start doing it I think I am in for a drastic wardrobe change which my life will enjoy except for the added costs.
