Joey, well done. The key for winter riding is to wear the proper clothing. I have done 27-28 F, with the forecast saying "Feels like 24F". I admit it was dam cold, but you just need a good pair of winter gloves. This year I am thinking in trying the heated gear, no because I can't handle the cold, but because it is a bit bulky. Besides, it takes me the twice as much time to get on the bike.
I hope you are warm up already. Clearly you feel your fingers since you are typing. :) Javier.
