The "one rolled up pantleg" thing is starting to get a little chilly also. I have one of those reflector leg band things from MEC, but I always seem to get the old "chainring tattoo" on my pant leg when I use it.

my legs don't get cold but besides almost getting blown off the street during my morning commute, my eyes were tearing up like crazy! i had a slight headache too from all that wind against my ears. once i get going, i find i get warm pretty quickly. i don't wear any high-tech fabrics.. i've got this wool zip sweater (made by swedes so they know something about the cold) and i roll up my jeans a few inches. the muffler helps as does layering. i'll need to get something to cover my ears though. i'll put on another tshirt when it dips to -10C.
