When dressing for cold weather, pay particular attention to insulating
your ankles. Ankles think that they are supposed to be cold, and will
happily report "Everything down here is hunky dory, boss" while they
are sending chilled blood to your beleaguered toes.

It is not a widespread problem other than for those with poor circulation.

I rarely cycle at temperatures below 0 Fahreheit (-18C), but, when I have, I
found that ski underwear and regular crew-height sweat socks were
sufficient. Boot covers are a darn good idea, too (I should invest in some).
I still haven't broken out the Lifa underwear, although I bet there will be
one or two days in early April that I will need it.
