This stylish on-board thermometer will tell you whether the weather is cold, or 'kin cold:

As you can see, my journey to work today was 'kin cold!

How's everyone else coping in this weather?

No problem riding in the cold, just the gusty wind is a real pain as it very rarely seems to be a tailwind.

 

[ianrauk]

No problems in this weather.
Just dress accordingly.

Nearly got blown into a kerb myself this morning. That's the problem with urban riding in windy conditions. You don't get any warning, then you cycle past a side street and it takes you right off course.

Minus 5 this morning but almost no wind so not a bad ride into work. Also could see that it was getting light by the time I was coming into the factory around 06:30AM this morning. Dark mornings almost gone

My cycle computer does this. I do like my temperature in centigrade and speed etc. in mph. Sadly it can't cope with that!

No worse than mid-winter.

Snow outside my window again. However it appears to be going upwards, so shouldn't cause any trouble.

Not a Sigma is it? I have the same issue. You either get Farenheit and MPH or Celsius and KMH. That said, it doesn't matter too much - I'm not convinced it's actually that accurate anyway. The water bottle is a much better indicator!

Ok i will admit it
I took the car last night and i was glad !
Coming home this morning the lanes were covered in gusting snow and even so other drivers were impatient and driving way to fast for the conditions given the reduced visibility from blizzard like conditions and the uncertain grip.the cold i do not mind to much but that ride would have not have been fun assuming i stayed upright.
Got up this afternoon and its all gone .

Tell the OH to stop swearing then ..

I had that issue with a Sigma - I no longer know how the numbers compare and they're ''in the sun'' temperatures anyway. I find trying to feel my toes is as good as the water bottle.

It's fine - Just wait for the crunchy noise instead. Usually the car stops FOR you at that point too. Fantastic what technology they build in these days isn't it!

I solve that one with neoprene overshoes. I bought them for the wet, but they're absolutely indispensible in the cold!

Cold is ok...but this wind is a freeking nightmare!!

Parp!
