First really chilly morning of the autumn here in NC, with low temps around 45. I wore my tights and vest for the first time since spring as well as my long-fingered gloves, and I felt great. I was just warm enough without overdoing and getting sweaty. Yesterday afternoon I had to work late and missed my "window" for avoiding the heaviest traffic, so instead of leaving at my usual 4:30 pm, I hung around until 6 pm to avoid rush hour. Ran my headlights and taillights for an extra measure of safety. I love riding this time of year. If you've got the right clothing, lights, etc., you really can't top the weather.
