I've kinda been going through a little withdrawl myself. I've had several interviews and open houses recently that have prevented me from riding. This morning was wonderfull though. It was about 38/39 degrees and clear along the Mount Vernon trail. I wore a heavy jacket and cap under my helmet for warmth in addition to my full-finger gloves. This combination worked great. I'm also discovering that in order to stay warm one should strike a balance between spinning and speed. My typical commute is to speedball it from door to door which gets me to work in 30 to 35 minutes. This morning I decided to slow it down a little and concentrate on spinning (the handfull of ice patches along the way encouraged a slower, more careful ride as well). Of course this generated quite a bit of heat and lessened the chilling wind affect on exposed skin. I'll soon be changing jobs and hope to land one in the DC area so I can continue to ride into work. My recent Metro and car commutes have really sucked so I'd like to continue to have an option.
