Once, I rode on mountain roads, along sea. After a turn, wind was so strong I can't make the bike turn.. I stopped in front of the sea, 10m below.

Exactly the same. We had great time with my wife under the sun and nearly as good times in bad conditions. I have the feeling sometimes I love to ride bike at summer cause I rode it in winter.
And meeting another bike in winter is a great moment, especially touring far from everywhere.
The only thing I pay particular attention is my equipment. And in that cold days Gerbing's gloves I discovered 2 months ago (thanks to JL Doublet who brought them me from US) are great.
Temps are moving up here but this morning it was below 0°C and it snowed yesterday. But roads, even with icy patches, were practicable.
