Living in the San Diego area as I have for most of the last 20 years the blood has really thinned. I'm not very interested in wearing the kilt in single digit temperatures. (Of course, I'm not really interested in BEING ANYWHERE in single digit temperatures).
It was 9º F with a brisk wind the night I attended a Robby Burns celebration. I guess you just get used to it. Plus, an 8 yard 22 oz wool kilt helps a lot. Seriously, I wore kilts all winter - just takes wool hose and a wool kilt. With the exception of my kneecaps, I was warmer than when I was wearing p@nts.
