I wouldn't beat yourself up. Chicago weather in February is probably worse than Boston - I think you did great. I haven't even considered an indoor trainer. I don't think I would use it.
My winter challenges are my fingers and toes getting painfully cold. This year I bought some real winter cycling gloves, and improved my footwear with wool socks and I wear LLBean hiking boots. I am comfortable into the low to mid-20's, although this winter we haven't had much of that kind of weather.
