Cold ride in to work this morning. I don't know the exact temperature because the National Weather Service web site is not functioning here today, but I'm guessing it was about 26F. It might have just felt colder due to higher humidity than usual -- there was a very heavy frost as well.

My new REI Tempest tights were very comfortable in those temps, although they have a tendency to slide down because they don't have a waist strap. My fingers were a little cold, and I should have worn my warmer gloves. It was a little hard dressing this morning because it is supposed to warm up a lot this afternoon (mid-50s), and I didn't want to overdo it and get too hot on my commute home.

I had to drive yesterday, which was a real bummer because the weather was ideal for commuting. However, I had a dentist appointment at noon, which would have required about a 2.5 hour lunch break if I took my bike.
