They were broken out this morning definitely brass monkey weather.
As per usual, jimboalee has a formula for it.
Its a bit complicated and is centred around the Canadian National Weather Service's frostbite chart ( on which is the formula ). On top of that, there is the Siple Windchill formula for calorific expenditure at reduced skin temperatures.
In a nutshell - If the Siple result is more than the actual forward propulsion, the bike stays in the shed.
And there's more.... Thermoconductivity of common clothing textiles. Dry and damp.

It had got so cold tonight that on the way home I took it a lot easier around the traffic islands and sharp bends.
Yes, it was that cold that I thought the wet roads might be a little icy.

That was cuffing cold, I may have become a eunuch.
I had my longs, base layer, long sleeve top, nightvision jacket and my buff on and I was still thinking it's a bit nippy.
Note to self, tomorrow cycle faster to keep warm

Endura frontline base layer for me - this top is the dog's particulars, super warm and toasty.

A few flakes of snow this morning. Otherwise, clear and cold with great views of the Southern Highlands with caps of snow.
On the downside, tha back roads are still wet and long stretches of ice meant foot down and backing right off. Early start but in no earlier than usual.
