Welcome, glad to have you here. There is a really good cold weather gear post in "general running discussions" on the last page.

its not too cold to run, if you have the right gear, you dont want to be thinking of how cold you are, you want to concetrate on running
if you can get some miles in everyweek on a treadmill that helps too. its a nice break from the cold. treadmills are a little boring but they will make you a better runner.

thanks for joining us, check out all the topics, you will learn a lot

it's rarely TOO cold to run. You can always layer up and get the right kind of cold weather running gear. I have a friend that lives in Alaska and it's not often that below freezing temps deter her from running outdoors. She just dresses appropriately.
nice to have you here!

Never too cold. Only too cold for the gear you have. The right gear makes all the difference. I know some of the stuff isn't cheap, but it is well worth the investment, IMO.
