Last winter (injury recovery) was the only one since 2000 I didn't ride through 90%. (Some days are 'bus-necessary'...)

This is either the 4th or 5th winter I've had the studded tires; they make a LOT of difference.

We've seen some sub-zero mornings/evenings this month -- almost ALWAYS with a significant wind chill, as well. Still rode, still endured some difficulties (breath fogging glasses then freezing on them, persistent cold making me all but vomit on the way in ).

My PR is -5F/-35FWC; came close this year, -2/-22. Coldest December in years.

At my age, the only direction I can see me going is 'wimpier'...hopefully, not for a few more years yet.
