I decided not to ride yesterday, as it was extremely raw and unpleasant—both cold and quite windy. I almost didn't go today, either; I was strongly planning on a trip to LA Fitness, and the flags I saw flying stiffly when I was out running errands this morning nearly sealed my decision. But in the end, I decided to ride, and I'm glad I did. It was 31°, with a snappy wind bringing the wind-chill down to 21°, and the air was unpleasantly humid ... but, I figured I've ridden in considerably worse conditions (just going from memory, I'm thinking the coldest day I've ridden so far was 18°), and I really didn't want to take off consecutive days.
I did my 10-mile route again (a round trip to Marsh Park, and a concluding loop in Heatherwood), in 1 hour and 7 minutes. And now I'm glad to be inside and warming up!
