Having begun commuting to work in mid August for the first time in many years, I'm enjoying it so much that I'm reluctant to give it up as winter approaches in the NW Pennsylvania mountains. The temperature is now typically about 30F when I leave home in the morning. The biggest problem is keeping hands and feet warm. At 30F ski mittens and Thermax cycling socks over wool cycling socks make things tolerable, though the thumbs do get a bit cold. In the low to mid 20s F, though, I don't think this will be adequate. What do other list members do for hands and feet for subfreezing commuting/ winter training. I guy you CA guys don't have this problem much.

Regards,
