Went for a ride yesterday afternoon and i wore a jacket and tights - seemed odd to have that many clothes on.
But looks like the fat bike may make an appearance this weekend if the forecast holds. i am somewhat excited to try out the cycling boots i bought in august

When I was working downtown pre-CoVID during the winter I would drive down to that free parking lot at the bottom of Home Road NW and then ride in from there. Still got ~20km/day riding and base fitness even in nasty conditions, plus the drive to/from parking was so easy (2 traffic lights only). So what I'm saying is for bike commuting to work you can also consider changing your start point, can vary it perhaps during the year, and then come spring/summer do the full commute 1-2x weekly for the bigger days.
