8F when I left according to NY1. Wore the balaclava and swore I'd never wear it again. The part that covers my nose is too long so when I breathe hard, the flap bends back and covers my nostrils making it harder to breathe. Did a 1/2 mph fall at a red light. I was barely moving and my rear tire was on the painted white crosswalk lines. I saw the intersection was clear so as I mashed forward, the rear wheel slipped and I stopped automatically and fell over before I could unclip. Not too many people around and only one person asked if I was ok, but for anyone watching on the bus behind me, that was for you. Near as I can tell, the slip wasn't caused by ice so I'm guessing it's dry salt dust on the slippery white paint.
