Yup, anything below 0 is chilly.  Anything below ten below is pretty
cold.  20 below gets you into the pretty damned cold area.  Not that I
think any of you whimpering sophisticates will have to endure it, but
let me reassure you that most people can't tell the difference between
25 below and anything lower than that.  50 below feels just like 25
below...except your exposed skin freezes faster.

I've resisted breaking out my "mid-winter" parka so far this year, but
I did wear my mid-winter boots the other day.  It's nice to have warm
feet.
