This is probably a tough time weatherwise to start commuting again in CT. However, it's a great time to start getting all of your gear together, your bike prepped, etc. Have everything set so that you're ready to go when the weather starts improving. I ride and bike commute year-round, but our weather is much milder in NC. Nevertheless, I often miss more riding days due to weather in Jan and Feb, mainly due to rain, sleet, snow and ice. We are having a mild winter so far, but I've already lost one week due to a sleet storm and a few other days due to cold rain. However, I've still managed to log 193 miles YTD, which is better than nothing.

I started bike commuting about 10 years ago during "bike to work week" here, with the goal of riding on dress-down Fridays. I enjoyed it so much that I started riding 2, 3, 4 and sometimes 5 days a week. I generally don't ride on days when the weather is lousy, but I've still managed to rack up more than 40,000 miles bike commuting since 2007.

As others said, "just do it."
