LOL, guess what he was wearing when he came home!!!! GYM SHORTS!!! I just shake my head, the people at his school much think we are crazy...
Yes, when I taught in secondary schools (11-16 don't know what this is in the US) it was very much a macho thing. Ice, snow, whatever, the boys would come swaggering into school in shirtsleeves. Fortunately our cold isn't as cold as your cold but it made me shiver just to look at them. Once they got into sixth form (16-18) they seemed to have learned some sense - unless it was a kind of demarcation showing they were no longer stupid youngsters.Having worked with middle and high school students for many years, you wouldn't believe all the kids with no coats or long pants I've seen during the coldest times. Apparently it's some sort of fashion statement. Elementary students are more for comfort, and more willing to stay warm, not "fashionable". And will do what their parents tell them. At least most of the time.

PF, just a sweater at 18 degrees? You're either very hardy...or very nuts. Nope, just nuts.
I agree with your diagnosis, CG.
I unfriend you...
Folks I have space on my wall now!
Love that commercial!
Oh, wait, CG, she's unfriended us. Now what?
I dunno, Dawg. I say we start drinking and hatch a plan from there.
We're in the single digits again. I'm already tired of winter.
Okay, I put you back on my wall and I stole a coat from the doberman down the street, I'm off to the vet for shots.
32 degrees, warm enough to melt a little on top of the ice and make it really slippery.
So if we see a poor coatless dobie shivering away, we'll know it was you, PF. I do have a few coats that Beagle refuses to wear if you're interested.
We had a sunny 17°F here along the river.
Only the purple or bright orange plaid ones. Thanks!
