i always feel a little nervous that it's Just Me when i start something like this. we have a winter cycling forum and the extreme-commute thread, but i thought it might also be nice to have a thread where anyone commuting through winter for the first time can check in with other first-winter folks, describe their conditions, say why they've decided to try and go all the way through this year, report how it's going, etc . . .

so who's out there besides me?
