I'm the same about commuting in the winter! Add to Neil's issues of ice and snow (we get less here in the south, nj
) is the wind.
Get the right clothing on and in about 5 to 10 minutes, internal temp gets toasty. At that point you can do more to let steam out, adjust unlike summer where all you can do about the heat is sweat, drink lots of h2o, and slow down.
I do like the changes in seasons, ride year round (prefer to road bike), and appreciate the contrasts!
