Yes, they are all kind of bulky, but as long as they don’t interfere with a helmet and give good peripheral vision I figured that was just an aesthetic concern. I went with “ZIONOR Lagopus Ski Snowboard Goggles” (B-clear blue lens, 60% cloudy/night). They have been comfortable, don’t fog up, and aren’t too dark (could’ve gone for a bit darker for daytime, but in the winter I’m often cycling at dusk/dawn). On the down side, there’s still some minor distortion in the lenses (not enough to bug me, but sometimes noticeable), and they tend to press on the bridge of my nose a bit more than I would like (causing a tendency to mouth-breathe). If you can try some out in a store then that would probably be better.

• winter tires (no studs—they might be nice on those very icy days, but I didn’t fancy changing tires)
• ski goggles, with a very light tint since it’s often dark (sunglasses won’t do, they fog up too easy)
• helmet liner (down to -10C), or balaclava on colder days
• regular gloves (above 0C), izumi lobster gloves (ok down to -5C or -10C), or ozero long-sleeve ski/shoveling mitts (colder days). I’ve thought about pogies, but with the bike parked outside I didn’t want to have to take them on/off the bike every time. Mitts make it harder to reach shifter and brake, but the ice/slush build-up limited the gear shift to just a few options anyway, and slow, planned braking works better on ice.
• waterproof shell/pants. Not only to stay dry and keep clothes clean, but it cuts the wind too.
• thermal underclothes (only on colder days)
• scarf to cut the wind on my lower face (less cold days), or switch to a full balaclava on very cold days.
• waterproof winter hiking boots
• hose and wipe down bike as needed
• also planning on carrying lock deicer this year, as last year the bicycle lock almost wouldn’t open a few times after sitting outside in the weather all day.

That was a micro-burst, not a tornado.

The first one is a double pun.
