BTW, our Ministry of Health advised against using bike for the next couple of days
I was nice and toasty today with a pair of polypropline long underwear (should be available at Ganders-- Kalnciema or T/C Alfa), jeans, and breathable rain pants from J&G cycle wear (

On my feet I had polypropline sock liners, cotton socks, boots, and neoprene shoe covers (Fans-- Garozes 1, Pardaugava.)
Skiing or snowboarding pants might be too warm. There is a good outdoor/camping shop on Mira, not far from the Laima factory that has decent Gortex type pants for around Ls40. They might have the long underwear too, and they have better prices than Ganders.
I had no problems with the weather at all today. It was a good day for riding, nice and sunny!
