Default How cold was your ride this morning??

So, this is my first winter in sunny Florida and it has been pretty mild at best. This morning as I took my hour long ride into work, I couldn't help but notice that I was the only motorcycle on the road at 5-6am. I typically see about a half dozen in the morning and a dozen or better in the evening on my way home.

This morning I checked the weather before I left as I always do to make sure I'm properly dressed and it read 31 degrees with 12mph winds and felt like it is 21 degrees. How do you dress for that?? I put layers on top of layers and headed out. I was pretty good except my face got a little cool and my hands nearly froze. As I rode and noticed I was the only bike out I got to wondering about this and wanted to post tonight to see if anyone else rode in similar conditions today.

I think it was 35 this morning when I took off around 6. Only cold til everything goes numb that v shaped thing under the tank makes for great hand warmers

17 here in new mexico. Auto start from the house with the heated leather going. I can afford heat while this cold front is slowly killing us.

It was like 25 degrees this morning on the way home, looks like a low of 28 for this morning. I ride with my heated gloves, so it isn't too bad.
