What are your suggestions for winter cycling peace of mind?

[Reddy Kilowatt]

I run studded Nokia Hakkapeliitta tires on my Optibike. I also have some warm winter boots, thermal long johns, a thin cap inside my helmet with the Winter helmet liner installed, Planet Bike Borealis lobster claw double gloves, and a nice Merino wool scarf worn Parisienne style. Despite all that, the bridge of my nose gets cold when the wind doth blow.
Then I realized what I was missing: the old deerskin face mask I used to wear for Winter mountaineering, When I looked on Amazon for a replacement, I found that they only seem to come in black nowadays (mine was brown). I figured out why when Amazon thoughtfully suggested I might like a ball gag and some whips to go along with it. Who knew?

A balaclava might work to replace the mask, scarf and cap.....and they do come in other colors including a neutral brown
