Default Weather sucks!

It's been raining and nasty for days here... just totally sucks. How far into the year do you guys ride? Whats the coldest it's been when you've gone out for a ride? For those of you in the seasoned states....This will be my first fall/winter with my bike up here in VA and wanted to know how you all fair with the cold.
