That happened to me today, too.  At first I thought I was just snagging on my balaclava.  Nope!  Eyelashes froze together.  Funny.

At one point this morning when I blinked my eyes froze shut. I couldn't see where I was going for a moment until I fumbled my glasses off with mittened hand.

Diamonds on the soles of my shoes ... my shoes (I actually wear slippers when it is this cold) sparkled this morning with what I assume was salt residue rather than diamonds. I bought these boot covers from Grainger for $6 and used them for the first time this morning and my feet were noticably warmer.

I did get out today - a too hell with the roads day.

I am still hibernating, but did you mean "to hell with the roads" or "the roads were too much like hell"? :-)

Chiberia is wearing me down. Only one short ride last week.  I'm sitting out today (and probably tomorrow) with the cold temps.  I know, dress appropriately and you can ride in any temp.  And I will ride ride the mile to the gym "in any temp" but my 6-7 mile commute in this cold is too much for me.

I feel you man — this weather sucks. Usually around February is when I start feeling exhausted and unmotivated from winter.

Yes.

Though, I'm getting tired of the layering process in the morning. I can't wait to throw on shorts and a t-shirt and just roll out the door.

I only managed a short ride to the train this morning. Man, did it feel cold! Even our basement has been cold, limiting the time I can comfortably mess around in the basement workshop.

On the plus side, we leave for a week in Florida on Saturday...

Looks like starting Thursday, temps will rise to more seasonal highs (low 30's). Looking forward to it.
