I moved to the west coast of the US to avoid this problem. Granted, now I have to deal with the march of fascism, but at least I have my moto 😅😔

I live in the desert, and it gets cold in the winter. Dont really have to deal with ice much, but temps are low. I have had heated grips on a couple bikes, which help offset electric gloves. I now have a nice leather jacket, but prior i used a heated vest plugged into my SAE port. I also wore extra leggings to mitigate my legs freezing. Long sleeves also, even with the heated vest. As long as my traction is good, i will ride anything. I have been daily for a few years now, screaming hot and cold. TLDR Layers Heated gear Good jacket and gloves

Sounds like you're close to me, which means that the snow is coming in a few weeks.

I like to pretend I have a ton of hobbies, but mostly I drink and play video games.

I look at it longingly. I will ride on nice days (no snow/ice) until about where you're at now, temperature wise. Warm gear, layers underneath, etc. but after that I cover it.

Finland here; I used to push the bike season to the max, one year I rode still in the first week of December (nice day for a 130 km trip one way, but the ride back in the dark with icing rain on goggles and nothing to wipe them with was the worst time I ever had on a bike) and started in March (my only time falling on a bike, on black ice)...

Now I'm content bringing my baby inside to the comfort of the house when it first starts pushing toward 0 °C over nights, doing maintenance and maybe putting on a coat of wax. Building up the urge to fly again next spring. To everything there is a season :)

I hate to brag, but where I live I just switch over to my winter jacket and maybe electric gloves on a cold day. Assuming you don't want to move somewhere else, maybe you could buy an old bike and spend the winter restoring it?

Get a sidecar. No, really - it's tons of fun in the snow, and is the only moment in your life that car drivers will slow down and let you pass.

I know a dude who rides a Honda Ruckus every day, even in the snow - in Canada. It's his only vehicle.

I put my bike in the garage when it gets to be consistently colder in the morning.

If you have a warm garage build something to ride when it gets warmer, if not, video games?
