Ceeeell-a-brate good times, c'mon! Bum bum bum, it's a celebration!
Fwiw I wear the windproof UA jogging pants over my cycling shorts, and a light UA upper underneath my jogging jacket. That's good for 32°f to 50°f thanks to its breathability.

The weather girl on Ch. 4 this morning said this upcoming Friday is going to hit 60 here in Boston 
Note: it was 10 degrees or less each morning this week. 60 sounds like heaven

It was 40F when I went out yesterday to shovel. I started with shorts, thin leggings, a thin merino shirt, and a jacket.
After 5 minutes that was too hot. I dumped the jacket. It was actually more like short sleeves weather (and I've really got to start working on my summer tan lines again.)

dont think I remember how to dress for 40 degrees!
So is this a rhetorical statement? Pathos?

...The “formula” I have adopted for dressing to ride is that over the years I have established a set of six levels of dress according to temperature, ranging from 1 to 6, according to intervals of temperature of about 10⁰ F:
This list is particularly useful at the changes of seasons from Winter to Spring and from Summer to Fall, as I start to acclimate between the seasons.
I have told a couple of colleagues at work about this scheme, so often when they ask me about the ride in, I can reply by the numbers.

35 degrees and windy here yesterday for a short ride. Felt AMAZING even riding into the wind. 35 degrees in March, especially after all the cold we had, feels so much warmer than 35 degrees in October!
I can't remember, however, the last time my legs were bare on a ride. Maybe September? Our cold weather seemed to come early this year. November was well below normal.

We are getting early signs of buds and some perennials are starting to "croak" through! Under a few inches of snow
