so far weather has not stopped me riding
but that day a few weeks ago when it snowed, hailed and sleeted on a tuesday evening was not a great deal of fun.
went from hackney to kew, by the time i got home my fingers were too cold to open the door and there was a chunk of ice on my bag (where the snow and sleet had refrozen into a lump)
i now have lightweight waterproof jacket, trousers and overshoes, warm gloves and a snug hat permanently in my bag combined with the grim determination that i will never take public transport just because of the weather.
strangely i quite like cycling in light rain, or just after it has finished raining, as noted above fewer nodders with the additional benefit of lower rolling resistance.
