How well do you tolerate cold? How cold is too cold? (famous, tank)

[The East Frisian]

I can tolerate cold until it drops to about -15°C (5°F), in fact in winter i feel greatest if the mercury is about 0 to -10°C (14-32°F). Have not yet experienced temperatures below zero Fahrenheit, so i don't know if i could handle such temperatures as well.

But i could definantely take cold more than heat, 28°C (82°F) is my limit for comfortableness- with dry heat maybe 30°C (85°F) but anything above that is just too much, if it tops the 90s than i really begin to feel unwell.

Cold as long as it cold not damp cold. I can go very cold as long as my feet are warm and dry.
How cold is cold. When you have too bring in the Brass Monkey.. that's cold.

With 41 winters in Alaska and another 7 winters in Montana I do ok with the cold. What I can not handle is high heat. Up in Fairbanks Alaska it can get minus 50 or colder several times every winter. Then when it warms up to minus 20 it actually feels pretty good.

Not too well I'm afraid. However, I tolerate heat really well, so it goes both ways.

Living in the UK it's always pretty chilly though our winters are quite mild for the latitude. I find anything less than 50°F to be too cold in April, and it's usually colder than that. I wear 3 layers plus a coat and hat until about 55°F!

You know the kind of cold that instantly freezes the moisture in your nose? For some it was a brutal winter here but I loved every minute of it. The frigid temps gave us a special gift in the form of two sun dogs in a month. I was fortunate enough to see one. I did feel sorry for the animals living out in it, and of course there's always the idiot factor that leave their pets out to freeze to death. This moron woman left her pit bull outside for hours and it died. I'd like to force her to stand out in 20 below temps for half an hour with just a sweater on so she can feel just a fraction of the agony that poor dog felt before it died. Extreme weather is interesting and adds some excitement to the mundane status quo but it does need to be respected. You can keep that 100 degree high humidity stuff, I'll take the cold and snow any day.

With severe arthritis I do well in the heat, 105 degrees with very low humidity like we have in AZ doesn't phase me. It feels good when the bones don't ache and you're able to do what you want without pain or limited mobility. As soon as it get's below 60 then the aches and pains come back.

[Chatteress]

I can barely handle highs in the low 60's and lows in the mid 50's. Ideal weather for me is temps in the mid to high 70's. I'm OK with low 80's as well.

4C (40F) these spring days feels lovely and warm, I guess the sunshine makes it feel warmer than it actually is but I'm having to take off my jacket and hoody if I go for a brisk walk in this weather.

[Pincho-toot]

Coldest I been in was 10s and that didn't bother me so I dunno what my threshold will be, but one day I will figure out!

My Cuban born and raised cousin adapted to the below zero temperatures of Nebraska pretty darn fast though, and he used to think 50 was cold.

Everyone is going to have different tolerances to different weather. I'm one who prefer cold over hot anytime. I don't do well in heat. Some people may not do well in cold. I've seen people wear coats in 75 degree weather and some in t shirts in 45 degrees.
