All bodies seem to have their own individual thermostats and comfort level .

To me, "cold" is anything below 70 degrees ! (I'm part reptile)

There are levels of cold - kind of like how the Eskimo had over 100 words for snow, and the ancient Egyptians had about 30 words for sand.

But truly cold, the painful kind, is below zero. Although I dislike anything less than about 50 fahrenheit. Give me 70s and 80s, and sunny - any day!

Great question. Also depends on humidity and wind speed. For me If there is no wind, -20F is when it starts to get a little cold. If there is a strong wind, -4F will be on the cold side. If it is a cold winter, come spring many in these parts will not bother with coats and will break out their T-shirts when the temperature hits the 30s F

I usually keep the house around 60F then drop it to 50's F at night. Electric blanket to warm up the sheets then kill the blanket heater once inside. Lots of feather comforters. In younger years, my room - mate and I (Minot ND) never closed the dorm window in the winter. Room temperatures were usually around 20F (cool not cold) the only problem we had was when we opened the door into the common shower area, if someone had showered, it would snow in the room. Also, the smoke detector would go off.

My profile photo it is 18 F and I am in short sleeves. But had to put on longs sleeves and a vest right after this because I was above the tree line and wind really takes away heat fast.

I'm usually ok outside without a coat until it gets down below 30F. I do usually only spend maybe a minute or two going to and from the car, so it's not bad. In the house though, I prefer to have the temp set around 70F year round. Anything less and I get too cold. Anything more and I get too hot. I do sleep with a fan on, though. I like to be cooler while sleeping.

If you come to Scotland you will see what cold is lol. We are notorious for getting terrible weather. We are lucky if we get 3 weeks of sunshine the whole year.

Although till now I lived in Ohio, Iowa and Ontario Canada here in Texas I am now cold with anything under 65. Not sure why that is but that’s how it is in my lil world.

Grew up in Saskatchewqan and I can definitely say you get acclimatised. I mean 7 years in Victoria so very moderate Canadian climate then living in Bozeman seemed cold at times but now living in Tennessee moving back to most places in Canada seems like a big ...HELL nope!

Hard not to put on a brave front but anything above -20C isn’t too bad. I walk to work everyday so anything above -10C is just cool. Minus 40 is about my limit now but when I was a dog owner there was no lower limit.

I do live in Quebec so we have to say this type of thing; but your internal furnace appears to be more intense than mine. No heating at night - Impressive.

I'm living in Hawaii but I'm from Pennsylvania,so I'm used to cold weather. In the winter here I'm going to the beach, wearing shorts and tank tops, etc. The locals who've lived here for years are walking around with winter coats on lol. It's 70's in the day and 60's at night. Not even close to being cold for me.

I'm the person who's always cold, I'm guessing because I have a small frame so no insulation. I keep a jacket at work, and I'm the one who controls the thermostat. If I'm cold, I know everyone else is comfortable. If I get warm enough to take off my jacket, I know it's time to crank on the AC because everyone else is burning up. I keep the thermostat set to where everyone else is comfortable, not myself. I actually get teased if I walk around without my jacket on when it's not hot in the building because it happens so rarely.

Cold is when I literally can't feel my face. Until then its ok, though I prefer sleeping in the cold, its so much more relaxing plus being able to curl up under a blanket is the best feeling ever.

I always keep my keep my home between 70-75 F give or take. I also use a fan. I have to sleep with a fan blowing on me. Something about the noise and the extra air.Cold to me is like 40F and below. Like you, I cannot sleep in a hot room. Cannot stand it!

Pretty much the same thing in my neck of woods.

10 below F when your nose hairs freeze

Cold is anything below 70 to me, but it depends on time of day. During the day I like it to be warm. At night I drop the thermostat to 65 F, sometimes less. I like it cold at night. If we are talking about outdoor weather, I get cold when it drops below 50F, but obviously I logically know it's not very cold unless it hits the negative F. That's just me.

I used to live in Stanley, Idaho in the 90s. First winter I lived there it was -20F for 2 1/2 weeks straight. That's pretty cold.

Lower 40"s F. and below is cold me.

I would be shivering at your place. I don't have a heater or a thermostat, so I don't know what my indoor temperature is, but surely above 70 F.

I do know what is too cold in my swimming pool... the water was 66 F today and I did my laps, but was thankful for my winter wet suit. Hoping to get it heated by next winter, 72F or above would be nice.

When I lived on the mainland, I think I remember setting the thermostat to 72 daytime, 68 nighttime. Something like that. I like to be warm, but not too warm. Dislike being cold. That's for sure!

Anything above 32F feels like tropical weather to me. Below that, my level of tolerance goes to "What a hell am I doing here" down to teens. Single digits, mild cursing begins....below zero, better not talk to me at all.....

Ma'am, a piece of my soul just died reading that. I am a tropical blooded human. Anything under 60 and I'm shivering. My heat is set on 72F and I still run a space heater at night.

I like to be warm under the covers and have the window open

Oh, thought you were talking about beer.

This sums up my version of cold

Cold, I wish it was cold here, about 37 degrees Celsius atm, and only going to get even bloody hotter, the lizards are already carrying waterbags around with them....LOl.
