37F!!! That is shirtsleeve weather. We open the windows at 37F.

You gotta understand that I work outdoors with my bare hands. Can't do my sort of work any other way. When it gets around 35, your fingers go numb, working with sheet metal. We always manage to wind up doing a few jobs when it's that cold anyway, but it's a pain the you-know-what.

Don't get me wrong. We do all sorts of other stuff outside when it's in the mid thirties, but those temps make our work really painful.

Ok. I can see the problem.

Last cold spell, it was very windy and we have a 100-year-old house with no central heat. I was wearing texting gloves and the computer room was 60 degrees. It was still hard to type without gloves. Tonight, it is just fine, since the wind isn’t that strong.
