My hands get cold pretty quickly under 55 deg, at which point I generally turn to my long finger gloves. Now that it is starting to get colder in the mornings here, I have seen some photos of people I follow on Instagram as well as people we pass on our early morning rides with no gloves.

Why bare handed, yet rest of body is covered?
What is this COLD you speak of? Never heard of it. I have heard of "really wet morning" though, today we had almost 3 inches by 7:00am at the airport... apparently a record since 1933 or so. I had a ride planned for 4:30am with my buddy, needless to say, I canceled; no way I am taking the new Infinito CV out in this weather.
