Fingers and toes were a touch chilly, but not terrible. Temp was right in that in-between range where my long cycling pants were too warm but shorts wouldn't have been enough. So at the moment the long pants are hanging up in the closet inside-out to let them dry out a bit. I brought shorts for my lunch commute to a different office when it's supposed to be in the mid-40s.
