Cold weather - what is cold? - depends on where you grew up.
Having grown up in Tasmania, the coldest I experienced was - 7C.
Someone growing up in Indianapolis might experience - 20, Born in Darwin? cold might be 11C, London? - 15.
So depending on your own circumstances, cold is relative.
I know that on the West Coast of Tasmania we often had to have the fridge open to heat the home.

I use remote start to fire up my F150 - 10 minutes warm up before needed.
Warm seats and cab. What’s there not to like.
It’s the wind that’s torture!

I hate cold weather - or anything cold. When I was young (and much larger), I walked around all winter in a short-sleeve shirt & was never cold, even when it was 40-50 outside. And I hated summer. Now, at 73 & 205 lbs smaller, I’m cold at any temperature below 75; I’ll be wearing a heated vest & ski jacket with built-in gloves outside.
In winter, I sleep in all polyester & two polyester blankets. And I set the space heater to go on for one hour at 85. And she better not let her cold feet touch me. 
I have to be careful in the shower; I really like the water HOT. You wouldn’t believe the…parts I burned In the past.

Hi
I used to love the cold and getting out in it.
The fishing changed in the winter, grayling and pike to be caught in the rivers.
The silver fish dropped back into shoals in the deeper water, mush easier to catch.
Beach fishing was very different in winter, the cold water and larger surf brought inshore the cod and whiting, great fun.
Living in Yorkshire there was plenty of snow and some great sledging runs in walking distance when we were kids.
Fond memories.

Yep…down south Dungeness on The Kent coast used to be a very popular night fishing beach for winter cod before the numbers drastically diminished. Far too cold for me I’m afraid, succumbing to frost bite over a Tilley lamp has never appealed!

Hi
Yes, numbers have declined, but still fun.
The big advantage in winter is no pesky surfboards thinking they rule the roost.

No holidaymakers, the beaches are empty, you can walk for miles on the beach & only see a very occasional person at the most. And on the right beach, if the wind has been from the north, there are plenty of small pieces of amber to find around the high watermark.
