The absolute coldest it's ever been, according to the outside temp. display inside my car is 37 degrees, and that's only happened twice, and 1 of those times was 20yrs. ago. [wow I can't believe starting today it's officially been 20yrs. since I was 18]

omg thats hot where i live, I would be sweating right now if it was 54 and i was detailing. i just hope for above 32 right now so i can wash my car without the foam freezing on to the car. a couple weeks ago it was 3 degrees on a Friday at work and i work out side. i would have to be below 20 for someone to ask if i was to cold. you get used to it

Trying to work up some sympathy for your plight...but failing.

I was busting a sweat this morning when I was doing a car... I like this weather, the only time I feel like it's legit cold is if I'm awake between 1-6am. No heater and it gets rather cold as it is under this roof.

Current temp in Calgary, Alberta Canada is -18c, or about -.4F.

I was visiting Greece a number of years ago, and sitting outside of my parents house in the early morning in shorts and T shirt reading the newspaper. It was 24C/75F, 9 AM or so. Neighbor lady from across the street comes running over, and said I should go in an put on a sweater and long pants or I would get a cold. Told her that I was already sweating, and I was going to the beach in an hour or so to cool off. She said the water doesn't warm up until the afternoon, at which point I said, I am gong there to cool off, not to boil.
