Coldest yet

Okay, the ride home was my coldest ride thus far.  -8 C (17.6 F) and that was without the wind.  With the wind I was looking at -14 C (6.8 F).  Needless to say, it was even colder once I was moving.  Thing is, the only thing that got cold was my hands...and I mean cold.  It took a dip in cold water to get them back to temperature and to hold off most of the pain.  I may have to consider those Widder Lectrics...

until you come to your senses and buy lectrics :) , try the old military trick, gloves over gloves. If you have a pair of summer gloves, put them on beneath the thick gloves. Layers will help.
