For us Minnie-sohh-tens, 27 and sunny is a pretty balmy winter's day. Like "woo-hoo, shirt sleeves" balmy. Even "oh, look, some oddballs in shorts" balmy. After a few weeks of subzero (Fahrenheit) temps, 27 is downright spring-like.
I get a chuckle out of most "winter" cycling clothing. Winter in the Cote d'Azur or Italia, maybe. Not winter in Minnesota.
