I don't commute, but I do ride at those temps. 20˚F is right on the edge of

Sargent's sweater (with gloves, hat, socks, shoes). At 20˚F, the roads
I commute about 8.5 miles, but the coldest I've ridden so far is about
45˚F (it's
12˚F now). I plan on working my way down to 35˚F, and then maybe 25˚F.
Technique:

wind.

rule of thumb for fire road riding, I have two answers. Again
As long as it's (mostly) hardpack, 33mm is fine. Rear tire may spin
out on steep climbs though, even on hardpack.
If you're not sure of the condition, the MTB is a better bet.
