Not happy
I will try to ride into December. Temps, weather willing.
Next up Thanksgiving.
Then Christmas.
Snow? Ice? Ugh yeah. They're like side-dishes.

Ride all year round - if it's a bit icey then I take it easy and look ahead and slow down when needed - this is at 2am going to work and in heavy traffic coming home at 6pm - dark, pot-holed roads and dipping to -deg's - IRC's tyres (not good for the cleanliness of the bike, never looked as good as yours WN part a few weeks from new)
btw - I used to ride to work with cold hands (soon to fit handguards now I have a mini blowtorch to remove the bar end bolts!) but I now use cheap disposable vinyl gloves as inner gloves and my fingers are fine at 30-40mph - my chest and shoulds are often cold despite t-shirt, fleece, thermal lined motorcycle jacket and waterproof - so vinyl gloves are a wonder as an extra lining.
Still riding in Toronto, bright sunny day and even when it was colder, I found that balaclava I wear for snowmobiling keeps my neck and head warm. Also, my rain suit keeps the wind and chill out.... all I really need is some grip warmers... LOL

You work 16hr shifts
And heavy traffic at 2am? I think we have a typo happening.

87112, I'm ignoring your last sentence. Against forum rules. It will stay as is. Tis a warning.
As far as changing the clocks..."Fall Back, Spring Ahead," I fully agree. It's a p.i.t.a. What's worse is that my automatic clocks change way before the due date. So my whole schedule gets knocked out of whack till I recognize and correct them. Pain!!
