It happens here in New Hampshire in the winter, too. I worked with a guy who wore shorts all year round. He said he was always hot, the long pants made him sweat too much even in the winter. I understand about being hot all the time, but wouldn't the repeated exposure to cold, dry air be bad for the skin? As for not being cool to dress for the weather, when I was in junior high school and then high school, we would be caught dead with an umbrella on rainy days. We'd arrive at school sopping wet, though! And wear a hat, no way. Although I did when it was very cold and windy. We do stupid things as kids to be in with the cool people. Hopefully, we grow out of it! LOL!
