I went outside a few times today for 5-10 minutes each time in with no jacket and a short sleeve shirt, no big deal
I did put on a jacket when I ran out to load some stuff from my garage onto a guy's trailer though

We've been in the teens at night, and round 20º-30º highs the past couple days.  It's chilly.  Plus, sand and salt on all of the roads makes riding a bit hazardous.

I usually stop when they start salting and won't go out again until a good rain gets rid of the salt but otherwise will go out down into the 20's

I'm with Lethe.  I do, so long as the sand/salt isn't an issue.   Somewhere, there is a picture of my bike parked on front of bank sign showing 9ºF

Yep.  I've been afraid to add heated gear because Molly's (1999 M750) electrics can barely keep the battery charged.  I've just stuck to layers with a nice Tourmaster coat/pants over everything to keep me from being totally frozen!

Ducatirigrl - Sorry, already married.  Find your way south and I can at least show the roads these NC/TN mountains are known for!

They're some cold temps alright, temps I honestly dont understand.

It's 100+ here. 8)
Morning and evening rides only, midday in a cool spa with [beer]. The air temps aren't the problem for me as I like the heat, it's the UV index.
Wind and firebugs are another problem.

Cant help you out with the marriage thing either sister.
An alternative suggestion is to move to Vancouver where it doesn't get down anywhere near -22 f

I don't require a lime with my tequila.  Hell, I rarely use salt really, but when it's this plentiful, why not?

My commute is only 4 miles with the speed limit being 35 pretty much the whole way, so I don't think the current 20ish temps would be too bad.  I'd ride to work if I had a garage to keep my bike in.  Otherwise it would probably take me 15 minutes to get it started, by which time I would likely have changed my mind and gotten in the car.

But we really, really, really need it.

And thankfully, not horribly cold.
