I wear a full face helmet that is GREAT at not fogging up. Except when I ride when the temps are in the 30's. Then it does fog up, and when you flip it up for a second to clear it, the condensation on the inside of the faceshield freezes. So while I normally don't bother to wear eye protection inside my full face, I do when the temps are that low because I find myself having to ride with the visor up more.

I rode a couple of weeks ago(gosh I hate winter) in 35 deg. weather. I ride a Wide Glide with no wind shield, a half helmet with a baclava. It was a 60 mile ride one way, and when I got home the sun was setting. Burrrrr ! If you have an ultra, you can handle it. Let us know what your experience was like .

I am at work now. Everything went well, made it just fine. I did get a little cold ,but not too cold. When I have more time I will feel you in on my trip to work. Remember, my trip to work was only about 1 hour long. Had it been a long trip, I would have too make some adjustment in order to stay warm.
Thanks Guys...Ride safe

Hate to say but I chickened out today. 28 degrees and rush hour traffic in Washington, DC doesn't make a good combination.
btw, did you mention what state your riding in? I would feel like a whimp if you said the DC area...
