I prefer winter clothes and as long as it isn't blustry, I don't mind cold weather. 

Under 0 is rather unnecessary!  Is anyone listening??

W NC can be COLD!  COLD!  COLD!  At 30 degrees.  We get the wind off of the mountains between ourselves and Tennessee.  Ice on the roads      6 inches thick in JUNE!!!???  Yep!  You have it!!

I'm making hot chocolate and snuggling with my big fur baby!!!!!  (OR, Is he snuggling with me?  LOL!!!!!).

I don't mind when it gets cold - I have plenty of warm clothes.   What I don't like is cold and windy, and I hate rain.

I'm a Southerner born and bred.  Anything below 50 degrees is too cold for me!

With an Artic blast heading towards the U.S., how cold is too cold for you?

For me, I don't like it when it gets below 40°F.

Give me a nice dry heat.

There is a reason why I don't live where it gets really cold!

For me it's less about how cold and how many days in a row it's cold. I live in central Texas, so it doesn't get very cold very often. The winter before last was especially hard here. I only have about five days worth of sweaters for days where the high is below 55 and that winter had me scrambling to make sure I didn't wear the same thing twice in a work week. I'm also not used to the whole multiple layers topped by a scarf, gloves, and coat thing, so days on end of that get old fast when I usually one have to do it a few times a month.

I don't do layers. I do wear a coat though and gloves and hat if it's below freezing with the wind chill.  It's amazing how fast you acclimate. My daughter wears sandals when it's in the 30s and I saw a guy in shorts at the store the other day when it was in the 30s.

In the teens, during a snow storm on the way home from work with public transportation stuck in never-never land. Been there, done that.

When the high for the day is zero, it's too cold for me.

West Virginia winters are cold.   Our high today was 37, sunny, no wind, and was a tolerable day to be out.   Too cold for me are temps in the teens or single digits, especially when local forecasters add words like chilly, breezy, frigid, icy, Arctic, and polar blasts.   

Last winter was very cold with weeks of hearing the words Arctic and polar repeatedly.   My heat pump was set on emergency heat for days and weeks at a time, with several monthly bills over $300.   Within the last few months, I have heard weather forecasters (not local ones) talk about the "mild" winter WV had last year!   What?  Where?  Because it absolutely was not "mild" in my part of southern WV!

@shoesnbags I'm a northerner, born and bred.  And I'm with you--below 50 is too cold.  Which is why I now live in the south. : )
