I'm liking this cold weather. So far. This has been the first week when the lows have dropped to the freezing mark in Raleigh, NC. My cold weather gear has been performing greatly -- keeping me warm enough without sweating. The end of daylight savings time also has been nice from a commuting standpoint. The sun is coming up now when I leave home, while last week it was dark all the way to work on my morning commute. The afternoon commute is also better. Even though it's darker, I feel more visible because my lights show up more and there is less glare from the sun.

I'm probably going to need some additional cold-weather gear and clothes, however, for days when the lows drop down into the 20s and teens. Probably will need a baclava and shoe covers, and perhaps a warmer jacket. Right now I doing fine with heavy jerseys, base layer and vest.
