My limit is ~45 degrees (~7 C). I found that when I rode below that temperature my thermal gear wasn't enough to keep me warm and my riding ability was getting impaired.

That's the main reason I'm not riding this winter and probably wont ride any other winters until I get a cheap bike I don't care about.
