I was actually expecting black ice when I hit the fog patch at the 280-92 interchange at around 7 am. I could not believe the amount and thickness of ice on my truck when I parked the bike this morning!

My seat was frozen this morning, I wiped off the ice and went to work only to find out that the seat cracked and split across the middle
Now I need to get it fixed or at least find a cover for a 21 year old bike.
No worries...........we all have a crack and
oh wait, you mean bike seat. nevermind.

Yeah, but it's a dry cold!
(That's what my cuisin in Montana tells me when I ask him how he can survive those -40 degree winters up there!)I've ridden here when it wuz down yo 16 degrees a couple years ago, but it didn't seem cold cuz it wuz "dryer." I'm with the OP, it felt cold this 'morn cuz it wuz cold & damp with fog.
Oh My Sack!
Rides at speed of smell
I picked a GREAT day to leave the heated gear at home.
Rode from Arroyo Grande to Salinas this a.m. Freezing fog in North SLO County up till about 101 / 198. We were sporting our full liners in our pants and jacket and was still nearlt too cold on the way up. I damned near turned around in San Miguel but kept pressing on.
Forecast didn't call for that one along our route when I checked.

Winter sucks
I was cold after I got to work and got out of my gear. The ride in was fine.... though I suppose my 10 minute ride isn't much 
I have tuned my gear selection quite well for the change in weather though.
and FWIW
COLD > RAIN
Though I enjoy riding in the rain, it's a welcoming sight to see dry pavement again.

It was about 35 degrees the past couple of days here in northern Santa Barbara County. Luckily, I've got about a 7 minute commute, 5 if I'm in a big hurry. The machines (big ass CNC Mills), sure suck up the cold and keep the shop cold all day.

Wore the Balaclava and it made the ride home a lot more tolerable. I was freezing last night through my Gore-Tex with liner, uniform, vest and shirt; and really dreading the trip home...

OK, today was colder. Shaved the beard last night and that was a mistake.

Agreed, today was colder. No sun and more water in the air.

Now you have to make the distinction between latent moisture content and humidity. They have the opposite effect on wind chill.

Indeed. I still have my beard, but took my jacket liner out last night. (don't like the extra bulk) If my commute was longer, I would have been freezing my ass off. As it was, it was just brisk. My neck was stinging after just a few minutes, though - guess I'm gonna have to dig out my neck warmer thing.

Yes, it was colder today, but i still didn't need any heated gear. Course, I was in the Mercedes. Guess that means I am a weenie too. Still have my beard, all over my body.
