40* is generally the limit for cold for any distant ride. I will piddle around in town colder though.
Snow/ice on the road I won't (besides my 'round the block I did last weekend ) If it's raining when I would leave for work, then no. I don't mind a "pleasure" ride in the rain, or riding home from work in it, but being wet all day at the office is not my idea of fun. |

For me in Michigan, it's the salt. Anything near the low 30's will usually result in salt on the roads. And when they salt in Metro Detroit they make the roads white.

I've ridden in just about everything at one time or another. Generally speaking, if it's dry I ride, regardless of temperature. I avoid rain when possible but still get soaked good and regular.
Also, a little lesson for those of us year-rounders: http://twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=17585 |

Rain. I hate rain. The majority of my rain gear does a great job keeping the rain off me, however, my pants are destroyed from reversing the order of pants > shoes in the morning a few too many times.
The cold doesn't bother me much anymore with heated gear, or at least the winters around here. I only have jacket and gloves. I also really hate when my helmet fogs up in either of the aforementioned conditions.
