Default Cold as crap!

Yesterday it was in the mid 50s. I rode without gloves! Now I go and start the bike up in the garage, and the steam from the pipes is filling the air around me. I ride, and soon realize it's much colder then I thought. I take a look at the temperature when I get home and this is what I see.



A wind temp of -12... So at 40 MPH on the city streets IDK what it felt like, but it was cold. Anyone else braving some temps?

Temp has fallen from 72 to 28 in north central Oklahoma in the last 5 hours. A group of us were going to ride to coffee this afternoon, but decided a 2 mile ride to the local McDonald's would do us just fine.
