The average winter temperature around these parts (Laramie, WY) is between 10F (-12C) and 30F(-1C). I have wore a borrowed modern kilt to shovel snow and haul in the wood with no problems at all. Well except forgetting about the sink hole in my folks yard and sinking up to my waist in a snow drift. That was a bit chilly. The wind did tend to try and flip it up, but the wind always blows here. You get used to it after a few years.
