 Frosty Gloves
Took my first wintery ride, no snow but lots of fog. Stopped to clear my windshield and discovered my gloves had frozen over from the fog. 
I really need to beak down and buy myself a pair of heated gloves.

You are a braver man than I am.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Be careful when the fog gets that cold. When it condenses just a bit, it gets heavier and drops onto the pavement, following every little nook and cranny. Because it's not flat, it APPEARS to be dry pavement, but is, in fact, black ice.
Meet a little patch of that in a corner, things can get ... let's just say "exciting" rather quickly.
I agree there is some exhilaration in a cold ride (I have done several myself), but keep it parked unless it's DRY and cold.

Egads, I'm drinking hot coffee in a warm house and this made me shiver.

Watch out for the black ice. That was when I would hang up my riding. You can go, but you cant stop, and the nanny will not bail you out very well with no traction.

Re: Heated gloves. I had 3 pairs of Gerbings, all went bad with hot spots within 1 year. Sent 1st pair back and received a new pair - bad soon after. Rinse. repeat, 3rd pair same story! Gerbing was sold a few years ago and the 'new' models are actually cheaper-made than the originals.
Now riding with Tourmaster heated gauntlet gloves for 3 years and they are great! Warm enough to use most times without plugging in and toasty as needed when plugged in.

Winter water proof motorcycle gloves with a set chemical heat inserts and silk glove liners. Used the chem heat inserts for hunting since I was young, so just kept using them.
Was out when it's cold, and flurries last Jan. But you the man riding in that weather, nice vid.
