Great post @velimir.
The last pic reminds me of a scene in the just concluded Pyeongchang winter olympics, South Korea while i was watching on TV. Winter can indeed be great.
Keeping warm and dry in the winter is essential if you want to enjoy your riding and to keep safe on the roads, but just like you said,

I just smiled at that guy and ordered a coffee.

Some people say that coffee goes down nice and warm, and makes you feel like they are heating up your insides, but they can be a danger in the cold because they increase the blood flow to the skin which may make you feel warmer, but it is actually causing you to loose body heat. Does that affect your riding. What's your say on that. Does that apply to you.
Nice pictures. Be safe my friend.
