I sense that those of you who ride outside this time of year are mainly doing so during the day when you can see safely -- even if it is a lot colder than here in North Carolina.

Any words of wisdom -- (as opposed to piling on us Southerners for being wimps about the cold)?

Thanks to all. This always makes for great reading and work avoidance!
Dark is an extra handicap. Extreme Cold + Dark + Wind + Ice/Snow = Rough times. It ain't easy. Take out even one of those hurdles and things improve. Each additional that you take out, the more improvement.
