I feel you Nemo. In the last few weeks I finally had to pull my jacket and gloves out of the closet for my daily ride to work. Today I ordered a new National Cycle Plexistar to replace the one Bambi destroyed over the summer. It's a must to cope with the brutal winter here in the desert 
I've seen this phenomenon in AZ. On a cold winter day at the airport (50s or 60s) it's not unusual to see a plane land and a bunch of upper midwesterners hop out wearing shorts, sunglasses and flip flops, while the locals are bundled up like Alaskans.

After many months of sub-zero temperatures your body really does adapt to it, and anything over 30 seems pretty livable, I kid you not. Still, I'll be happy to trade places with you , Nemo!
