Do you struggle with getting up early for the shot?

What do you define as being "cold"? Here in southern california... cold is 40's. Speaking of which, when I go for my daily bike ride at 5am, it's often in mid 40's to mid 50's this time of the year. That is cold for here. So i'm out in full ninja gear, face mask and all! Stealthy would be proud. LOL

Below zero, depending on the wind. Not blowing, I can stand forty below for a few hours....Not bad for a California escapee, no?
Why so serious?

Yeah I agree it depends on whether it is windy or not. People here give me grief over not wearing a coat when it is only in the 30s. I hear the aren't you cold, and I always say I will get cold when it gets below 20.
Alex I used to love riding when it was in the 30s&40s. I did not sweat as much.
Now as far as getting up early. It is not really a problem for me, because I do it out of habit. I was pumping concrete for so many years that 5AM is sleeping in. That job had no set schedule, and my day could start from midnight to 8 on another day. I like seeing the sun come up, so it is easy.
