    NOT true. They obviously have never had to walk 3 blocks to class in -30 degree weather. Imagine this: you get all bundled up, and open the door to begin your walk to class. When you open the door, the air is so dry and so cold that you have to take 3 "practice breaths" to actually inhale anything. You can bet your butt that if you don't have a scarf covering your mouth and nose that you won't be able to breathe for very long.

    ...plus, you start to ge snotsicles, which are never fun.

    Thats hard for me to even imagine, the coldest I've ever experienced was -8c (camping). But then we go the other way, often a fair bit over 40c during the summer, which I don't enjoy one little bit.
