It's been chilly here too. Everybody is bitching about how "cold" it is, one guy actually put his bike up for the year. Incedentally, the coldest it's been is around 30. 30 above zero. Pussies.

Angee, after five years in North Dakota I can tell you, cold weather is nothing to play with. Get your sweat wicking under armor spandex crap, the put long underwear made of raw silk over it, then put a layer of woll over that, then put a layer of heavy denim over that, then put a layer of leather over this. You can substitute a Carhart suit for the leather, or you can wear Gore-Tex over the leather, but that's the best way to do things. Get some of those woll socks with the neoprene layer inside and a pair of Thinsulate Danners. Might want some flannel or fleece in there somewhere too.

Also remember, you want a little air space in between your layers, it'll keep you warmer, but seal that air off from the outside.
