I agree to an extent. I ride all winter and prefer colder dryer weather. But we really don't get that much winter rain, so 30-35 and not raining is better than colder temps. In face we have many days with daytime balmy temps on either side of 40.
OTOH- here in NYC we can ride on just about any winter day without going to great lengths to protect ourselves. I'll take a few damp chilly rides, even rainy ones over super cold any time.
