Do you work for the Minneapolis tourism association?

You are correct, and it's kind of insane to me how much of a "baseline" there is to what "tolerable temperatures" feel like. You start to notice this a lot living in a place with radical temperature swings. If gets up to 35F in February, I can wear a T-shirt. When it first drops to 45F in October, it feels like the arctic.

I often get judged for wearing shorts and a hoodie in winter weather, but I don't see why it's such a big deal. I really dislike bundling up every single time I step outside. If I'm going to the grocery store, I'm fine going in my pajamas because I'm going to be outside for around 30 seconds.

Keeping your core warm is the essential component to keeping your body warm for long periods of time.

I'll happily go outside down to -5 C/20 F weather outside wearing shorts and a warm jacket, as long as it isn't too windy.
