I was also thinking that was another option but not brave enough to say it.

Time to reminisce and call for 'Sound Off - Take II'?

Don't be afraid Betty. :'(
Do what you do at home and make the the executive decision.
And put your foot down and say it were going here and that's final. [laugh]

Regarding the cold, you just gotta be prepared for it over winter... granted the "snowy" ride was in April, hence being caught by surprised.

Here's my check list:
- winter gloves - something with gortex / thinsulate etc...
- skiers inner gloves
- woolen unders - top and especially the bottoms - I use "icebreakers", and they have thumb holes in these sleeves to stop them riding up
- neck warmer
- silk balaclava
- woolen ski socks
- jacket with a liner

With all that on, I'm cosy but do take on board that I have more inherent insulation than others ;)

Seriously, if you're really adverse to the cold, day long riding in winter may not be for you.

Hey, some of us might like being soft!

Actually, the softness helps with the insulation.
