After 11 years of acclimatization, from a sub tropical environment to current "home" conditions, I can definitively say that I am now comfortable at -20* if dressed correctly, but add significant wind & things become uncomfortable quite quickly.
Well, God bless and good luck with that!!!
Actually, as much as we do acclimatize, I think there's something about growing up in a climate that makes you more comfortable than someone who moves there later in life. I noticed more than a few times during my 15-year Wisconsin sojourn that my tolerance of cold seemed considerably more robust than that of my Cheesehead friends... but considerably less so than my friends in Alberta who had grown up in the NWT.
Now I'm learning the opposite end of that spectrum, acclimatizing to Gulf Coast heat and humidity... but I'm committed to doing it well!!
Doc, when cold, you can normally put enough clothes on to go out in public, when hot & humid, you can't take enough off to be comfortable, without getting arrested !
