Maybe something or other freezes, and at 31 it hadn't quite had enough time to freeze. I also forgot my hat that 28 degree evening, which meant my ears hurt a lot by the time I got home.
I have been follwing Northern USA/ Canada weather and it has looked unseasonably cold.
Although my phone died in the cold, my AAA powered PB SFs continued to work, as did my LI-ION powered DiNotte lights. I'm not sure why the difference.

I've reconsidered not riding in single digits. I will do it, but I want actual boots and better headgear first.
