Growing up in snowy upstate NY, before climate change, when we'd get snow in October, and it would stay on the ground until March, I always wondered about those girls that would show up to school on the coldest days, wearing a dress or skirt, with their legs totally exposed to the bitter cold.
Now I know that at least some of them probably came from religious families where girls weren't allowed to wear pants.
BE the inspiration that you want to see in the world! 😜
As a mountain person I just want to let all of you normies know that 27°F is not 'sleeves' weather for quick exposure.
Like if I am taking out the trash or driving to the store or walking to the mailbox or whatever. I do not consider sleeves at all until about 26F°, but that's just going to be a hoodie. At about 18°F or so, I'll go for a light coat on top of that. Single digits is where I break out the winter coat. Subzero you start layering.
We're not flexing. It's adaptation. I can basically not handle physical work above 85 degree heat. 0 stamina. My body knows how to keep warm. My body does not know how to keep cool.
That last sentence - yes! 0 degrees outside? No problem, coat. 80 degrees outside? I turn into a fussy baby. At 90 I'm like non functional
Long pants are refereed to as big boy pants
I can do just scarf, gloves, and summer clothes. When it gets really cold a long sleeve shirt and heated gloves. Its actually great. get legs splashed with muddy slush by a car? grab some clean snow and use it to wipe off your legs.
The local guy also wears flip flops
I was going to say:
You know it's cold, he is wearing shoes.
Every time I see someone like this it angers me and fascinates me.
Northerners are weird animals. I've been known to wear a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie when the temp is expected to "peak" over 30f- but never shorts!
It is snowing in that picture so the cold wouldn't wouldn't be that bad.
Same temp in dry air would be so so much worse.
I saw a guy like that in a blizzard last week
Best way to keep yourself warm is to wear a mask and keep the moisture leaking the warmth trapped. It's funny how many people who lived through the pandemic seem to have forgotten this. They might as well be this guy in regards to getting colds.
If it's -20°C and the wind isn't bad you can dress like this no problem, and a thin jacket or even just a hoodie is fine.
That's me. I'm that person.
That’s only -4°F for the yanks. No biggie if it’s not too windy. We ski in that all the time.
