Lol, this one has always been a fun topic of conversation!! I have been living in Houston, TX the past five years, and it's hilarious to see the whole city shut down when the temperature drops below freezing. I used to live in Dresden, Germany, which climate-wise is about equivalent to the mid-west USA; most of my current neighbors don't know what real snow looks like.

Of course, after five years my body has adapted to my current climate, and when it gets below 60F I pull out my jeans and a light jacket from the closet. That doesn't mean 59F is "too cold" - it just means I can't comfortably walk around in a short skirt and a tank top in that weather. My personal opinion is that people don't know how to dress to their environment anymore. All this HVAC has spoiled us so that we dress like it's always a balmy 70F and then complain when the actual weather doesn't oblige us by staying there. If it's cold outside, grab a coat, for crying out loud.

So really, I would say that 'too cold' is whatever temperature is so cold that it will cut through my clothes no matter what I wear. I've personally never reached that point. Anyone else?
