Was in my hometown of Butte, MT - -15ºf. Is that cold enough? I was born in ~-30ºf, so I tend to enjoy it more...
Plenty cold.

Morning temperatures were below zero in the harbor so it was plenty cold. Whatever insulation or lining the Navy spec’ed for it’s “cold weather” deck jacket works remarkably well, especially with the zip-up padded collar that blocks out wind and seals out the cold.
I know, my wife thinks I'm nutty too...Plenty cold.

Here’s my prescription for the LA summertime blues: Go to Milwaukee in December for one week. Repeat as necessary. Guaranteed to restore your love for Los Angeles (and North Carolina) weather.

Chicago is so miserably cold. If I go outside today...

I might have to look into one of those sheepskin jackets. Maybe the Chicago winters of old are back. It would seem so, with no signs of a reading above freezing in sight. Makes me want to stay inside and drink dark brown beer.My B-3 has been doing very well in this weather. I've worn it every day since we started getting the arctic air. Today I wore it with just a t-shirt on under it. No complaints!

Posted this yesterday on How Many Jackets do you Have Coming. If listing on 2 different threads, or if my posts are too photo heavy is a TFL faux pas, someone please school me.
Wearing today my (new via Fiebings) beater cheap Gap NOS Trucker, that is now black, instead of a really dull brown.
