Average winter temps are around 40-60F for the low and high, respectively. It's cold enough so that if you're riding your bike in the morning, you're going to want to amputate your hands if you don't have gloves.
Meanwhile, it's a constant 60F for me all day, today. We've had so much rain this year, it's like Chuck Norris is on diuretics.
Amputate your hands in 40 degree weather? What are you on? Do you have anymore of it?
40F with a wind chill? Yeah, I consider that to be in the territory of burr-ass cold. That's refrigerator temperature.
Here's the Regulus method of thermal energy (in F) to physical comfort conversion, for reference:
100+ -> too damn hot90 -> hot80 -> warm70 -> comfortable60 -> cold50 -> really cold40 -> burr-ass cold30 -> freezing20 -> very freezing10 -> how do you people live like this?0 or less -> x_xAnd thus, the number of layers of clothing required (
n) to maintain comfort can be approximated by the equation, as a function of temperature (
T):
n = (100 - T) / 30
