But for this Texan, the coldest time working outside there was when it was 34-37 degrees and mist’n/drizzl’n…cold to the bone.

Rain at those temperatures is beyond bone chilling.

It's BRUTAL. The humidity makes it very penetrating.

I have lived in upstate NY, California, Georgia, Arizona and Texas. The coldest I have ever been has been in the panhandle of Texas during a cold front. 60 mph winds and 20 degrees.

There is an old saying out there: There is nothing between the panhandle of Texas and the north pole but a bunch of barbed wire.

When it was 10 degrees out, I just dressed as if deer hunt’n.

Lots of thin cotton gloves to work hand tools.

Last watch I ever wore, froze back then.
