How late into the fall do you paddle whitewater?

After much debating, I've decided not to paddle tomorrow... A
two-and-a-half hour drive each way, with a forecasted high of about
12C (54F) and possible rain, with the river flowing at the very bottom
end of the guide book's "low" range. It's got me wondering... Do
most WW paddlers keep going till the ice forms, pack it in as soon as
the leaves turn, or what? I'd probably still go if it was closer,
but...

Well, in my old age I've gotten soft. I now only paddle in the winter if the
air temperature is going to stay above freezing. Fortunately, here in the
Southeast US,
that generally lets me paddle during most of the high water winter months. Last
year was an exception. Snow and Ice Storms kept me off the rivers almost all of
January and Febuary.
