Hey Astro,
the riders of Canberra can talk to you about cold riding and ways to beat it a bit. I'm a shift worker, leaving home at around 0520am for a dayshift. During mid winter that means riding in minus 4 to minus 9 © on really cold days, which along with fog that turns to ice when it hits your outer clothing makes morning riding pretty extreme. I put my leather jacket away when it gets really cold and go to a Dririder jacket. It is completely water proof, has quilted lining and is less cold than anything I have worn outside of electrically warmed stuff. A warm scarf around the kneck, thick gloves which also return less cold results and we survive quite well down here. I used to wear longjohns by daymart but just don't need them under the Dririder.
Cheers
