In some places (southern US), freezing temperatures are abnormal and can cause damage to crops (livelihoods), property, cause significant physical discomfort and potentially death (homeless).
The US is a really big place. Some of us go for a jog in 35°c, and some of us wear shorts and a t-shirt in 5°c.
Where I live, I only own a single item of 'warm clothing' because it's unnecessary for 360+ days of the year. We also have no heating in the home other than a small space heater. These temperatures will be rather uncomfortable, and will likely kill half our garden and potentially cause damage property.

Not fun.
