In my area, the coldest I've experienced is ~5F (-15C) and it's usually above freezing, so I'm used to running outside to grab the mail or whatever in shorts. Then I went to my sister's house and it was -13F (-25C) and tried doing the same. So much regret.
Think of the difference between 77°F and 32°F. That's how much colder -13 is than 32°F. It's easy to just mentally lump all below freezing Temps into one feeling, but it's a big scale.
The harsh winters of the Midwest was one of the main reasons I moved to a more temperate area. I really don't like the cold.
My town gets -10°C occasionally (less now than in the past), but when it does the sky is clear and the wind is still. It's beautiful weather. Frost covered everything, melting in the sun where the sun touches
It feels fine in shorts and short sleeves in the sun, but cold if a breeze comes up
