kinda early, but winterizing your bike?

Lizard Skins shock, headset, and fork boots.
fenders, they look dorky but they do keep a lot of the splatter to a minimum.
fenders, those lizard skin things for your fork and/or shock. fatty tires, pretty much everything taht has already been mentioned
I got a little beanie that was designed to be warn underneath a helmet, that single accessory changed how I ride in the winter. No more frozen face. Good winter cycling gloves make a big difference too, ski gloves are too bulky in the palm area and regular full finger cycling gloves are too ventilated to keep your fingers warm.
what...I live in So Cal. 
I wouldn't reccommend those lizard skins fork boots, the fork seals do a good job as it is and when you get crap inside the neoprene fork boots it's like sandpaper. They hold the grit in there and just waste away at your fork. Besides that I would reccomend just doing your routine maintnence more often if you're riding in a lot of mud and salty roads or whatever.
Oh man... its been so long since I've ridden in the cold. Hmm... beer must've killed that brain cell containing that memory of riding in 40 degrees & rain. 
Whats winter?
Do what I do and just go to lower elevation/latitude places in Nevada.
Let me tell you I don't miss that at all...
one thing you can do is buy some small balloons and use then as condoms over your headset. Works great to keep the moisture/water/salt out of your headset bearings.
