-6C at my house this morning. I coasted carefully down the icy hill then discovered my gear cable was frozen solid in 1st gear. I couldn't get it freed so I had to go back and use the car instead. Bummer.

-5 and freezing fog, on my drive to work.
I left a little earlier and didn't exceed 30mph on account of the poor visibility. Got in bang on 7 and noticed the temp was then -6. Rural being colder than the edge of a tiny town and all.

I left my chocolate buttons in the car and can't face the walk across the car park.

12 Celsius here in the faint winter sun. 4 to 5 Celsius in the shade.

I used to wear shorts while cycling in freezing weather. Didn't bother me as my legs don't really feel the cold. I stopped with the shorts thing sharpish though after reading what damage the cold can do to your knees.

On my commute this morning I overtook a guy in shorts fully lycra'ed up. I was wearing my street clothes on a converted 90s MTB as I have a short commute, so I can only assume that his joints had frozen, I would have needed to be going flat out to keep warm wearing as little as he was.
