6 mile ride at 8F, no problem.

Grocery run(short) on the bike at 10F didn't even merit the ski-mask.

Come on weather! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!

It has been -42 here for the last week.
With the wind chill it was -53.
You are living in the banana belt as we northerners call it.
If you want some cold, come to Saskatchewan!
Exposed skin freezes in a minute or so and death comes quickly for those poor souls who venture out without proper winter gear.
10F? I would be suntanning................
