I attended a college situated on one of the Great Lakes. In the winter, we had wind chill effects that reached -60 below zero (Fahrenheit). And while normally there were busses to hop to cross campus, they didn’t run when it was THAT cold. So we got used to walking 30 minutes or so to class in Arctic temperatures. Coming home for winter break and finding temps of 28 degrees (Fahrenheit) now seemed WARM. I remember walking around in a T-shirt while my friends dressed like Nanook of the North. Oh, and now I live in Florida and freeze at 70 degrees F. Funny how the body acclimates. LOL

28° is plenty warm enough for a t-shirt and shorts.

That’s right, Huda. Keep Chad dangling. Don’t let him know what you think of what he’s wearing.

Most of my life I took the cold better than most people, but not since I hit my 50s
On the other hand, I do handle heat better now

An extra layer of insulation under the skin helps get through the winter, I find.

First a “Karen”, now a “Chad”? I’m getting worried.
