I made my coldest bike commute ever this morning. 16°F/-9°C with a 20 mph wind. My toes got a bit chilly (2 pairs socks + tennis shoes) but other than that I was dressed appropriately. YEAH!!
Thanks cooper! It was a false alarm; looks like we'll be going to Duke tomorrow night to be induced.

re: cold feet. I used to have terrible problems with my toes even on my 5-mile commute. Then I bought these:

Happy to report I've done my commute in 15F temps (my personal best) and had no problems at all. One warning: I have size 11 feet and bought the XL size (the largest available). The first time I put them on I barely got my feet into them. Fortunately they've stretched some, but if you have feet bigger than, say, 11.5, you're probably SOL with these.
