This. The wind ruins everything. 30 and still is fine, but 50 with wind just sucks.

Also, being sunny makes it look nicer even if it is cold. It's just a mental thing for me. I get down on gloomy cloudy days.

Me...San Diego

50 degrees.

After living in Kansas City for 40 years and then moving to San Diego 16 years ago it still drives me crazy when people here complain about it being to hot or to cold.

Outside cold? depends on the wind....but when it gets below the 20's...that's a bitch to deal with. 30deg and no wind isn't THAT bad. 30deg with 20mph winds is absolutely terrible.

Inside cold? I keep my place cold all the time. Usually around 70deg. My dad is one of those people that keeps his house at 78 and it's almost like I walk into a sauna.

Really depends, mid 60's are just unbearable, I try to avoid going outside if it's below 80.

I was raised in Manhattan KS. After a 3 year tour in northern Japan (froze my ass off) I decided I was done with the cold forever. 20 years later, if it drops below 60, I'm done....

I remember the countless times I sat in Arrowhead and tailgated in the middle of an ice storm, a foot of snow, the cold Nov. rain pouring down on me. Learned all the tricks on how to stay warm the best you could. Always thought it was kind of fun, being a part of those hard core fans sticking it out despite the weather.

I've only been in Florida for 2.5 years. I can't see myself ever doing something like those cold Arrowhead days again. I've grown so use to the temps that I find myself feeling a little pissed off at having to wear long sleeves for 10-15 days a year.

This is deffinatly the time of year that makes me glad I live in FL.

Next year we are planning a Christmas family reunion in tennessee and while I'm looking forward to the event, I'm not really looking forward to the cold. I do however sometimes miss the changing of the seasons and snow on Christmas morning. The last time I saw snow was 15+ years ago

probably about 30 or below.

I ride year round. Probably when the wind bites below 20 degrees is when I finally really get cold.

I don't think I "feel" temperature like other people though. All I can think of is how whiny someone sounds when they state they are too hot or too cold inside someplace like a restaurant. Geez, you are dining for about 45 minutes to an hour, do you really think 71 degrees is too chilly? And are you so important that the entire restaurant heating/cooling system needs to be adapted solely to your desires?

Or at work I have a 110 lb girl come up to me crying she is too hot at around 76 degrees. I am a fat boy at 205 lbs and I am fine.

I think either I just don't feel the degree differentials that much or people are easily sidetracked by a slight breeze.

Below 72 in the shade and 68 in the sun will make me wear more than a short sleeve, shorts and flip flops.

Maryland. Probably about 10. 20 if it's windy.

Heat bugs the shit out of me. I start whining about the heat any time it gets above 85 or so.

Yeah. **** heat. I start bitching about the heat 80-85 if there is any humidity I'm ****ing dead above 75. Mother**** humidity in the mother****ing face hole.

The cold bothers me more as I get older. I used to wear a sweatshirt in the 40s. Now I get in the 30s and it seems cold. Guess that's why I'm going to retire to South America where it normally won't get below 50.

I love the cold but not the windchill so if it's 20 degrees and no wind with sun I'm a happy camper. But it could be 40 degrees with high wind and rain and I'm miserable. Perfect is 33 degrees with snow and no sleet or high winds. LOVE THAT!

The heat is what gets me. Anything over 80 and I'm in hell.

Sounds about right. I just got the winter coat out after last week it was below zero and didn't know it till I got to work and posted it in thread on here what the local temperature was.

Humidity is the game changer doesn't matter if is hot or cold. I would rather be in 130 with no humidity than 100 with 90% plus humidity. I have been in both. Same with the cold.

It was about -10 for a week, which was pushing it. Then it snowed and warmed up to 20, feels like an early spring (at least during our 5 hours of daylight.)

Somewhere around 60.

My life's ambition is to live on a tropical island that has a mean temp of 85 deg F year round.

Zero starts getting cold. Wind is the killer. And snow/humidity. Coldest I ever was was gathering calves at 4 below, snowing, and 30 mph wind.

Hunted whitetails in alberta at 22 below. Blind made it tolerable

That is about the limit for me to wear shorts.
