I put CX tires on my bike to handle the snow and ice, and they helped tremendously. I feel like it was a triumph. [MENTION=297562]dramiscram[/MENTION], that's impressive, but so is your climate.
In those cold temperature I always wear a pair of compression short, a pair of cycling short, two base layer, a regular pant and a winter outer shell. On the upper body I have one base layer, one t-shirt, a wool shirt and and outer layer. I also have battery heated soles in my winter boots and -40°c rated alpin ski mitts. As you see I'm no tough guy, I'm just dressed properly.
