It's pretty bad here in Northern New England too. Up until a year ago, I walked to work with my dog every day. It got damn chilly out there some mornings. After a while, though, Gruss is right. You just get used to it. Not naked swimming in an ice fishing hole sort of used to it, but it is bearable. :)
