Stopped at a bike cafe this morning and they have a wall of winter commuting pictures. Here's a sample:
You can buy the prints for $150. Guess bike shops have to supplement their income in the winter somehow.
This one is the inside of a water bottle (taken by yours truly):

I think you have a point there. It's does get weird here sometime because we really don't have a true Winter season and the summer is not all that hot either. Being deprived of mother nature can make us looney (well at least for me it does), and I guess jumping in cold-weather threads sort of balance the equalibrium for us? I think I will talk to my Shrink on that one 
There's a bicycle commuter who takes the same train as I do every morning. So far everyday this winter, he showed up in summer shorts while I just sit there and really wonder was he raised in a region where it gets really cold during the winter month?
Oh well, that being said, my behind is out of the thread and I just have to go catch up to it

I also was out last Friday at -15F. My coldest also was -20 a couple years ago. I remember it because it was a Thursday, and the next day I threw a kidney stone, possibly from dehydration.

My coldest was Monday morning at -27C/-17F. I'd ride in colder but that's about as cold as it gets in Montreal.
