We got a little bit today, just enough to make being 30 foot up a wobbly scaffold REALLY unpleasant but not enough to see on the ground.

-3 this morning but no snow en-route to work.
-3 I've decided is past the convienient to use a bike for commuting barrier, and is firmly on the side of feckin dangerous. When your hands and feet are too cold to function its a bit of a pain trying to remain smooth when you keep hitting neautral or not loosing grip of the throttle enough so you keep jumping around on little blip bursts.

Desperatly need new gloves and boots.

HG Pathan five or two finger gloves are ace! I've got both types and with heated grips, all is well in the world!

LOL!
Neither you are wrong!
Just returned from a site visit 90mile round trip the vast majority of which was motorway. The prospect of doing this with the crappy gloves I rode to work on was too much, so I took a detour through hein gericke leeds (dont tell the boss). OMG! cant praise these gloves enough hands were comfy and warm even though it didnt really feel like I was wearing anything. Windproof, Waterproof and warm warm warm - £50 was a tough pill to swallow but now having done my trip and returned still with all feeling in my fingers they're worth a lot more than £50. Very very pleased... now if only Santa could bring me some warm boots as Im pretty sure my feet are solid ice atm.
