Running has made me the opposite of this. I can't stand swamp ass weather, would much rather be out in forty degree's conditions. My breaking point is probably 9 degree wind chills. Ran in that once with a fleece and the zipper froze to my throat.

Still wearing shorts and flip flops.

Temperature is relative.

Depends on what you are used to.
Yes, there is a DUH in there.

for me around 30. The days were the high is -2 are the worst.

This is long:

and thanks for starting other threads to take our minds off of the other issues of the day

Grew up in NJ and lived in CA and Toronto for a while.

Outside-below 32
Inside-below 62

I'm the same way. It's 49 here right now and I'll be out running in shorts and a t-shirt.

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.

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.
