Jeans, T-shirt. If you get too hot in the afternoon or too cold in the morning wearing that, you're WIMPY.

Also what you described is your average winter day in Houston. Though it can sometimes be cooler than that.

A light coat that you don't wear in the afternoon

It's not cold enough!
Too true and it was even warming this morning than I was lead to beleive. Some folks had it getting as cold as 34. That was a dang lie. As far as dressing for it, I just wear some jeans and a T-shirt and I also throw on a long sleeve flannel shirt or something like that that can be removed once it heats up. I sometimes have to do this in the summertime because one never knows if the AC is gonna be in overdrive and making the workplace too cold or if it's gonna work at all and we end up being hotter than the outside.

Pfft, nonsense. That would be too easy.

Sometimes it gets cold enough to rain in the winter, but not every year. :sad:

Ironically, I appear to be developing a cold right now. Joy.

Unfortunately, 34 degrees is "freezing" to most Georgia residents. To quote a Visitor's Guide to Atlanta I read years back, "If a single snowflake falls, the city will be paralyzed for three weeks, the grocery stores will sell out of bread and water, and there will be people on every street corner selling 'I Survived The Blizzard' t-shirts."

Sad, but not as much of an exaggeration as I'd like to believe.

My dad and I actually overheard some lady one day remarking, "Oh I just hate it when it gets below 70 degrees!"

...I miss having a real winter.

oh my, it got down to 34 the other morning?

yesterday it was 29 here. Colder overnight, I think.

gotta love the northeast in winter.

also, last week, it was in the 70s, now our lowest has been in the mid-high twenties this week.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same deal here in Houston.

When I move to Colorado things will be different.
