I was in a a store in
I was in a a store in downtown Boston a few springs back and it was about 50 degrees outside and this older British couple came running into the small store chattering looking for scarves and gloves. They were freezing, even in their winter coats, and couldnt figure out why none of the stores in Downtown Boston were carrying scarves and gloves in April.
Cold Snap
A couple of years ago, we had a cold snap in early October. A friend of mine was in town from Seattle, having first travelled to Houston and Atlanta.
I met her in her hotel lobby the evening she arrived, with a nice warm winter coat and gloves for her to use during her stay.
Oh look! I'm from
Oh look! I'm from Camb-(cough) Somerville and I've recently been to England and Spain (not to mention Israel)!
Seriously

Just wait
When we finally fark up the ol' Gulf Stream, London will discover that they are on about the same latitude as Calgary. On the plus side, the NHL should have several franchises in the UK by then.
If you're cold long
If you're cold long underwear is your friend. Pure silk long underwear is thin, comfortable, and very, very warm. It's also pretty inexpensive.
Long underwear literally makes all the difference if you don't like the cold.
First heat of the season

I gave in a few weeks ago
I gave in a few weeks ago during a cold spat but have tried to turn the heat off whenever possible, so its not on officially yet. We are just too close to the water and in too windy of an area its gotten quite frigid in here when theres a breeze coming in off the water.
