Different people like different climates. For me, I would much rather work outside at 20 degrees than 80 degrees. And anyone anywhere close to a coast has to understand the nature of cold in continental climates. Winter is our sunny time of year with blue skies, dry air, and unfiltered sun. Even at near 30 below the sun feels warm on your skin. 60 degrees in a foggy coastal climate is miserable compared to 10 below in full sun out of the wind. And you body gets used to it. What feels cold in fall seems downright balmy by winter.
Yeah, I'd have to concur with this.
Shoveled about 10" of snow yesterday in 17f. Put on a light insulated windproof jacket over a t-shirt and was fine. I'm not a fan of 80+f.
As for the very last sentence, that part does crack me up. In the Fall, when it first dips below into the 40s Fahrenheit, just about everyone is wearing a coat. In the middle of February after a week or two in single digits to teens Fahrenheit, if it gets up in the 40s, some people will be walking around in shorts and sandals.

P.S.
Interesting tip for my fellow snowbelters:
I wanted to try something to see if it would work/help: i.e. I used one of the newer Ceramic/SiO2 auto polishes on the snow shovel to see if it would stop the snow from sticking. It does!
There are several brands available. The one I used was Meguiar's CMX. I applied 3 coats to the Toyota around April/May 2019. Aside from washing the car every now and then, I have not reapplied any polish/coating since 2019. I was curious to see how the claims of these types of auto coatings lasting much longer, held up.
It still beads water on the car. I literally applied it to the entire exterior. Paint, plastic, glass, everything. I use Rain-X windshield washer fluid year round, but the coating applied to all the windows and mirrors is still holding up and beadin water. The rain washes bugs and dirt off the car!
I figured if it worked that well on the car, maybe it would stop snow from sticking to the shovel, and it does. I used to spray the shovel blade with a silicone based lube spray before shoveling, but it would usually wear off before I was done (and anyone who's shoveled snow, knows how annoying/tiring it gets when the snow starts sticking to the shovel). Now I'm curious to see how long the non-stick properties on the shovel will last.
Application (on a vehicle or snow shovel) is super easy. Spray on a microfiber applicator, and wipe it on to apply. Let it dry for a few minutes. Buff it off with a microfiber towel. Unlike some older style waxes, the CMX buffs off with very little effort. I think I'm going to polish the shower next.
