How well do you tolerate cold? How cold is too cold? (actor, temperature)

Well at least the houses are well insulated in Finland even if the outside is cold! The one thing I'm dreading about going to England this winter is the cold damp house urgh. Dampness is another factor in cold tolerance - dry cold is much more tolerable than damp cold. I much prefer -10C when its dry air than +5C when its damp!

That's the historical all time record low recorded in 1983 (FYI, before I was born). Will likely never happen again (and hope it never does ).
I like refreshing cold, with highs between 25-45 F when one can stay warm if dressed well. Anything below 25 F for highs is too cold for us Jersey folk. The Midwest will most probably laugh at us .

Oh, and I like cool damp weather as opposed to extreme dry cold which makes my skin bleed.

Weird, I find that to be the worst temperature range. Not cold enough to justify proper winter wear but too cold for autumn wear.

Here, Below 25 F is arctic blast and stay inside, 25-45 F is for winter wear, 45-65 F is for Autumn wear, 65-90 F is summer wear, and 90+ F is extreme heat . Unfortunately, this July summer was very humid with 13 days of extreme heat. See if you can handle this :

I could not handle that heat! Anything above 25C (77F) is too hot for me and I like 21/22C best for summer heat.

When I left New Hampshire 20 years ago, I gave away most of my winter clothes, but I kept a couple of jackets in case a friend or relative up north became very ill or passed in the winter. They sure came in handy during that arctic blast earlier this month!

I HATE ARCTIC BLASTS. Its always a Man Vs. Wild situation up here . Temperatures earlier this January were limited to the single digits and lows were below zero. Just seeing the thermometer was enough for me to shiver.

For me personally anything below 60 and I call Mother Nature a bad name !

I have hated "cold" my entire life. In fact, I still a baby when my mother noticed that I liked a lot of warmth, so I think I was born this way.

During the winter my threshold is 42 or so, and that's without wind. In December we had two weeks of cold that was into the 20's most of the time, and my body and lungs were having a helluva time. I seriously do not know how people in the Eastern and Midwestern states do it.

On the other hand, come summer and I handle heat better than most people here. If I could I would live in 75 to 95 degrees every day of the year.
