I have so much respect for winter commuters now. I caught the bug over this past year in Florida (warm and flat) but today unexpectedly I walk out for my commute in jeans and a t shirt and its 48 F with a headwind the whole 5 miles in. I got a hoodie, but I had no gloves of any kind (I live in Florida!!!!) I warmed up and I now know why some people live in the drops. Headwinds can kill you. My hat is off to people who live up north.
