We live in the SoCal desert. Went out tonight and it was down to 60 degrees. I wore several layers and a thermal vest.

In the a.m. I put sweaters on my dogs if it’s below 50 degrees.

I live in Ontario, about 100 miles north of the border. If it gets much below 30 (F), I’ll think about wearing socks with my sandals, and even put on a light coat if I’m going outside for more than 15 minutes. If one concedes too much at such mild temperatures, one isn’t going to be comfortable at -40, by which time one does need a decent coat and at least one extra layer.

Funny, I have a 1966 toyota landcruiser. Neither the top nor doors have been on it since 1999. I put the windshield down most of the time. Drove all across town today, part of which in a light snow flurry with just a sweatshirt, and that is totally normal. Was in chicago two days ago working, and the temperature got up to 50, and I stripped my jacket off because it was feeling downright tropical

I'm just biting my tongue.

It was 77 in Memphis today. It’ll get cold after it rains tomorrow, though.

Here in Wisconsin if it is in the mid 30s with no wind many people will go without a jacket.

Lived there for a good portion of my life; places like Baker, Kelso, Ludlow Barstow, Vidal Junction, then back to places like Palmdale, Littlerock and Pearblossom.
I know correctly that it could get damn cold in the winter time and the farther away from the hills you got the colder it got.
I remember temps as low as 18 degrees and warming up to a balmy 45 in the afternoon.
Now I live in Nor. Cal. My average morning temp this time of year is 12 to 18 degrees, 24 or 25 by noon or one pm.
Coldest I have ever seen it on the front porch has been minus 14 degrees, that's 14 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, which would make it 46 degrees below where water freezes.
This time of year and for the next 3 months if I get a 40 degree day I tell everybody that it is “JUST POSITIVELY TROPICAL”.
Drives my wife crazy, she is a So. Cal kind of girl.
(snicker, snicker).

I live in Colorado. That is t-shirt and shorts weather to us. My dogs don’t get sweaters until 10 deg or so. And then it is more to keep the snow balls out of their fur as they tend to roll and play in the snow.

We're having a warm spell in N.E. The sun came out and it went up to 60 degrees. I fired up the Guzzi and rode around in my t shirt.

The way some people avoid the cold at all costs is the way I avoid hot climates.
