Many moons ago, when I was still in college, I spent a day helping unload a shipping container for somebody just moving into the area. It was maybe 25F outside, which was a balmy day for that time of year in Potsdam. Since I was moving furniture, I wasn't needing much more than a flannel shirt and some work gloves. The owner of the furniture was in a zipped up parka and still shivering and freezing (even though he was moving stuff too). Turns out the guy was moving there from Guam, where the island governor had declared a state of emergency a few years before when it got down to 50F. 50F is seriously bad mojo when not a single building on the island has a heating system, nobody owns a blanket for their bed, and nobody is the least bit acclimated to the cold...
