1. That is weird, my dear KW!
But I've seen people dressed like that at my college...

On similarly hot days!

Go figure!

Maybe they have low blood counts, which could increase their feeling of being cold?

:shrug:

Don't ask why. It will never make sense to you (or me either for that matter.)

3. Because they had no natural insulation??
Actually, I admit it...I wore a light jacket today.

:hide:

(and I definitely have enough natural insulation) ;)

11. I got frost bite there.
I had to unload my trailer of rolls of insulation in sub-zero temps. with nothing but working gloves. Of course I got frost bite. (which took me years to get over) I finally got the trailer unloaded and dead headed to Omaha. It was zero degrees in Omaha and zero felt GOOD!!!

8. I see that here in Santa Barbara--
80 they're DYING of heat, 70 they're shivering from the cold.

These people need to go spend a year in Redding....or Oakhurst....or Arcata....or Minnesota. :P

10. been there
I was sitting out by the pool in Arizona when it was 65 degrees one day and the lawn guy was mowing in a parka. At the time is was below zero back in Iowa so it felt like swim suit weather to me.

13. Why were those girls at the pool?
Were they using their parkas as swimsuit cover-ups?

:shrug:

14. Those weren't parkas.
Those girls are all natural.
