Chilly day for a ride

I got out for a bike ride at lunch today. I usually don't ride if it's less than 20°F but I need to get as much seat time as I can to prepare for my ride in May, so even though it was only 17° I went out anyway. I did almost 8 miles at a relatively sedate 12.1 mph average, but that's not all too bad for me considering how cold it was and how little I've ridden lately.
The cold air is really tough on my throat, both inside and out. By the time I got back I could only muster a hoarse croak. I need something to prewarm the air a little if I'm going to ride in temps like that regularly. Hopefully it will stay a little warmer on the days I can ride.
