It needs to be at least sub 10F for me to consider it cold. anything else is just chilly.
Here's my reasoning (this is just joking):
New England Temperature Conversion Chart
60 degrees F: Southern Californians shiver uncontrollably. People in New England sunbathe. Seen it. At the beach.
50 F: New Yorkers try to turn on the heat. People in New England plant gardens. My grandmother.
40 F: Italian & English cars won't start. People in New England drive with the windows down. Today.
32 F: Distilled water freezes. The water at Moosehead Lake in Maine starts getting cooler. So true. People swim in Chocorua Lake down the road and Echo Lake, too.
20 F: Floridians don coats, thermal underwear, gloves, wool hats. People in New England throw on a flannel shirt, buttons open. I almost never wear anything more than a sweatshirt or a fleece.
15 F: New York City landlords finally turn up the heat. People in New England have the last cookout before it gets cold. We even have a fire to celebrate the last cookout of the year.
0 F: All the people in Miami die. New Englanders close the windows. Pretty much.
10 below zero: Californians escape en masse to Mexico. Girl Scouts in New England sell cookies door to door. Been there, done that, before I was 10.
25 below zero: Las Vegas disintegrates. People in New England rummage around the attic to find some winter coats. Yep. Gotta have 'em for the top of the mountains skiing.
40 below zero: Washington DC runs out of hot air. People in New England let the dogs sleep indoors.
100 below zero: Santa Claus abandons the North Pole. Some New Englanders are frustrated when they can't start their "kahs".
460 below zero (absolute zero on the Kelvin Scale): All atomic motion stops. People in New England start saying . . . "Cold 'nuff for ya?"
500 below zero: Hell freezes over. Red Sox win World Series.
The best part? They're all true!!! Well, we let our dogs sleep indoors most of the time after the first of October through the middle of April, but that's besides the point.
