When my commute was 70 minutes long, my feet would hurt in the cold weather. It wasn't fun to do more than three days a week.
For the most part, Tom, it's fun, and it's fine. Cutting back is certainly an option, and there will be days when it will be too difficult to ride, so I will drive on those days.

Keep myself motivate, like @BobbyG suggests, is a good idea. I've ordered a few things on line the past couple of months, but there's only so many things you can buy. Doing some maintenance on the bikes helps too.

It has occurred to me, though, that since the weather has taken a turn for the worse I've been riding my winter bikes exclusively. Maybe with some sustained decent weather it's time to bust out the fenderless weekend bikes. It'd be nice to bust out some shorts and short sleeves too, but that's not wise.
