S5, You might if you sat as still as possible for 4-10 hour stretches at a time so as to not spook deer in the woods when doing so makes one chill to the bone from inactivity.

S5, As you say, I normally would not be as bundled up either if I am shoveling snow, framing houses, installing windows, roofs, etc.

I know S5. But seriously, I heard folks talkin about Canada cold vs our Mid Atlantic cold. It was mentioned that when a Canadian from let's say Toronto was visiting here in Maryland and the temps were technically warmer than up North, he was actually feeling colder. I think it was due to the damp nature of our cold from our Bay and Ocean a couple hours away.

I sense this too sometimes. If it is like below 32 F 0C, and the air is super dry, I am less chilled than when it is 28-38 and raw snowy damp type air.
 
This is true the damp air chills to the bone, but when you have dry crisp air you stay warmer. I have been in 25 below zero on a bright sunny day with a winter bomber coat on and I was as warm as toast, and on the other hand I have been out on a very damp breezy day at 30 degrees above zero and the dampness just cuts into you.

I complain when it stays above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And when it gets colder than 40 Fahrenheit :)
 
I like hot. Don't love humidity but would rather that than be cold, and anything under 70-degrees Fahrenheit feels cold to me.

My wife and I are currently looking at houses in Palm Springs, if that's any indication of my leanings.

That area is nice in November thru March, then it gets to hot
 
Stand hunting - especially sitting mostly motionless on an open tree stand gets cold, then you have to climb down.
Plus a you have to try to open you layers or peel them to avoid sweating walking in - cause then you get colder, faster.
Especially the feet.
The feet are always what limited my endurance.

Well, like the Hippy Dippy Weatherman says:
If you dont like the weather where you are,
MOVE!!

Too hot and humid, no thanks, but if you are able to choose inside with A/C, well, ok.
Cold is ok if I am moving but not fun.

45-75°F is ideal to me.

That said we are still planning a move south eventually to escape the GReat Tax and Police State of NJ.

Was looking in the Winston-Salem, NC area a bit, housing prices seemed better.
Found out it has an unusually high crime rate / explains the lower housing prices...
