Cold but not severe, -9C/16F. There was some wet snow and rain yesterday but not a lot, nevertheless, there was a sheen of iciness on the roads so I decided to take my 29er and a shorter, more residential route including bike paths and I was fine. I was dressed fine but my fingertips and thumbs got very cold and then started to warm up as I was arriving. I'm going to be passing by a Bass Pro Shops store early December and will check to see if they have any ATV bar mitts in stock: they appear to be essentially the same design as those made specifically for straight bar bikes but often 1/2 the price. I'll check with co-workers also on good places to buy ATV accessories (I don't have one so I don't know which stores are best).

Forecast for tomorrow is milder but freezing rain. Fortunately for me, I work for the gov't and get Remembrance Day (Memorial Day) off so I won't need to fight with ice on the bike paths.
