Temps are below seasonal because of the hurricane. According to the weather channel next week the weather will be more in line with seasonal averages.

Depending on the bike, you might not get very far. Bikes don't really charge their batteries at idle, and aren't too great at charging them from flat.
Brine trucks must have been out in force on the major routes over the past several days ...
Look at the white powdery coating/ stains from the brine solution on the asphalt.
For example, I've seen it on: 401 through GTA, 400, Yonge Street near 401, etc.

lol....did that the end of last season....looked like the Michelin man trying to bump start my bike. Ended up getting a jump from a tourist I gave directions to. Asked him to leave his car off.My bike stalled out then it had a hard time starting batt died on me. Odd enough looks riding a bike in the cold more odd running down the street to bump start her
If you see lines running down the road, that's it.
Add another windproof outer layer on top of it all and it will make a world of differenceI'm new to motorcycling, only bought my ninja 250r 4 weeks ago. I will take every opportunity to go ride until it gets too cold. i use a joe rocket alter ego jacket with cold gear underneath and jeans and joe rocket true north pants; they both seem to block a sufficient amount of wind. While I am cold by the end of the ride I am enjoying every moment I am out there. Just have a nice cup of hot chocolate to warm you up when you're done
And cold tires + cold road + sharp turn do not mix.
Spare parts rule!
Damn - nice this afternoon and getting better every day and I'm driving to Washington in a few hours.
Oh well - nice days coming to wander around the parks and museums.
HAve fun guys.

just be aware that hypothermia can sneak up on you and it screws up your reaction time so take it easy.

Agreed. I took city streets to keep the speed down (and I left late so I assumed the highway would be basically stopped). Couldn't feel my pinkies by the time I got there and was a little chilly as well. I should have used the ski jacket shell over top to block wind and maybe put some overgloves on but I hate those things (too cumbersome).
I thought it was much warmer this morning. Maybe it's the time and the route I take. I didn't leave the house until 8 so it was warm and sunny.
That would be the difference, for sure!
I find putting a breath box on my helmet helps with the fog issue.
I haven't found a place that actually has them in stock yet, but you should check out the Under Armour MTN Base 2.0 Balaclava, I have heard good things about it, and I use their cold gear shirt and pants and they seem to work quite well. That is the balaclava that I'll be picking up
I got one at Mark's - it's thin, so it's comfortable under the helmet. It won't completely stop the fogging while stopped either.
I was cold this morning,seems the cold hands made the rest of me cold.

heated grips and wind deflectors rule!!!!
Which glasses do you use?
What's a breath box?
What gloves do you use? My hands always get cold.
