With the exception of a few auslanders it looks like this thread belongs to us upper states and Canada.

This is my first winter being car free, as well as my first winter bicycle commuting. Looks like I jumped in a little too quick but I'm slowly getting there. Building my winter bike right now and have enough clothing to get me thru the ides of November.
I can't wait to see what blows across Lake St. Clair this winter.
