I'm a total pussy when it comes to cold weather. Spent far too long in SE Asia where it never went below 30 really. Although on the plus side there is no humidity in the middle of a desert so even when it is hot, it is still comfortable.

It's 1 F (-17 C) over here . I left some Starburst in the car overnight and when I chewed it, it broke into individual pieces.

I wear boardshorts , t-shirt and slippers up to 40 F ( 4 C ) cause I really don't feel cold. I think some people naturally just don't feel as cold as others might.

It does get bloody cold on the pitches at the shooting club for some reason. The light breeze was particularly awful a couple of weeks ago.... :-
