When I went out this morning for my daily "coffee run", the thermometer in my car indicated an outside temp of -12*. Don't know what the one on the "6" read, but I didn't care much either.

Here in NE Ohio the roads get salted for the snow. Usually it gets turned to dust after a few days and the roads dry out. Once the salt dust has a chance to get blown off the roads I am out there on the bike.
Cold doesn't matter as much as clear and dry roads.
Gonna have to check what the wind chill is when it's 4 degrees F. and I'm doing 75 MPH on the expressway.
I found a new wind chill factor and an old one. New says-30, old says -46.
Translated that means colder than a well diggers ass😎
I can't imagine even wanting to ride when it's much below 45*. But, I've been on two wheels for 59 yrs, so that urgency has long passed.
4 degree's this morning here. Much of the northern half of the country is in a serious cold spell now.
Of course (as usual) Maryland DOT has dumped a metric shit ton of salt all over the place and there is no inclement weather requiring it. Nothing but billowing salt dust everywhere... and giant piles of hardened salt everywhere on the roads.
Bikes are staying in the sheds... that's for sure.
