I mean there are five or ten days per year that are colder than all the rest. It's hard to get comfortable then.
Another possible approach is to dress in such a way that you'll be comfortable after five or ten minutes of riding. This will make you cold when you start out. Before you start, do some jumping jacks inside to make some heat. Then the excess heat will keep you warm when you start riding, and the riding will keep that level of heat.
