SICK of this cold weather!

Really starting to hate these cold weather swings, or more specifically, the timing of them.

I can only bike commute on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This past Tuesday, it was way below freezing all day. Yesterday was warmer, then again today way below freezing (temps falling even lower throughout the day). This weekend it will be in the 50's, then next week sure enough even down in the teens again on Tuesday and Thursday. DANG IT!

Until I can get some sort of eye protection (I'm thinking ski mask) that won't fog up, I'm really not equipped to commute 15+ miles each way when it's below about 30 degrees or so. My toes are a big problem, too. I can't really afford different SPD shoes right now, not for my huge 47-48 size feet, in a type that lends itself to cold weather riding. And I don't like the idea of going 15+ miles without being clipped in.

Not really looking for suggestions, just ranting about the crazy timing of weather we've been having. I have commuted all of ONE day this year, and it's looking like that may be the only day I get to commute this entire month.
