I won't go into all the details about layering, lighting, ice, etc. but a particular concern I suffer from is wearing glasses and the problem of fogging, and even icing out my vision. If this is problematic for you or anyone else, I can provide some answers, but will take a while; best illustrated by a photograph.

Fogged glasses are a serious problem for me. Usually the breeze as I ride clears it up, but if the temps are below 10 degrees F or so, I prefer wearing a mask. When I do that though, the moisture from my breath goes straight up to my glasses and freezes onto them. Bad news. I have to stop sometimes to scrape the condensed ice off.

One thing you really need to think about is visibility. Drivers are not used to seeing bikes around in the winter, especially at 3am. I know you say that you have lights, but I'd really make sure that those provide visibility. You might even use one of those reflective vests, especially if there was snow on the ground. I commend you for doing this at 3am. That takes grit...

B@stards. I don't even want to think about winter when it's still summer. Thou shalt not mention winter until at least the day after Labor Day. MAN LAW!
