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. Whatās there not to like.
Itās the wind thatās 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, Iām cold at any temperature below 75; Iāll 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 wouldnāt believe theā¦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.

Yepā¦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 Iām 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.

Cold and sunny is great, cold and wet is miserable. This morning was a lovely sunny dog walk, not too cold, and a serious work out digging over the veg plot. Much better things to do in winter.
I fully agree with all the posts about lovely places freed up from tourists and visitors. Beaches, walks, pretty villages, restaurants. It is a joy to reclaim spots you like. And a joy not be stuck behind a camper van.

Last week the temperature was just above freezing here.
I didnāt like it one bit.
Never used to bother me.

I feel the cold more now that Iām old but itās only a matter of putting on warmer clothing ā¦or staying in my nice warm bed a bit longer. 
I love to look out on nice snowy scenes but thatās a rarity around here over recent years. The ads on TV show Christmases as being āwhiteā that seems a myth these days. There were only 6 during the 20th century and one in the 21st from what I read. I can remember there being some quite mild Christmases though

It was never fun being in the cold and wet when I was working. Nowadays, I can sit indoors in the nice and warm instead, unless I have to go outside.

As we age, we become less tolerant of weather extremes.
I am at the stage where I am loathing the hot weather.
Staying out of the direct sun as much as possible.

Being a runner for over 45 years, training was everything to me. The weather became unnoticeable, if it was a run day, I would be out there in whatever the weather threw at me. Wind, rain, snow, heat, in fact I rarely gave it a thought. Always shorts, and in the really cold conditions, thermal vest and waterproof top and thatās itā¦Every Sunday on my long run of at least 15 miles I have run in sub zero temperatures, thick frost lining the verges and trees, Icey puddles to avoid. It seemed like I was in my own little microcosm of warmth looking out into a winter world. Running over frozen ground was actually easier than walking over it, only a runner would know this.
Life is harder now, being unable to run for any distance itās hard to find the right clothing to wear in the cold weather. Itās so cold when I set off, so I need some good upper body clothing, but after a mile or two and doing some jogging, I get over warm and sweaty.
The cold air on my chest sometimes brings on angina like symptoms, and I have to go easy, but then I get coldā¦
Bretrick is correct when he says the cold is relative, but itās also relative to what you are doing at the time. Trying to do precision work on a machine in a cold factory was difficult, and the heating systems were quite ineffective when the large doors had to be opened regularly for deliveries and despatches. No such problems now Iām retired. But walking or jogging in freezing conditions really makes you appreciate the central heating when I return home.
Visiting seaside resorts are a must in the winter, empty sea fronts and restaurants (the few that remain open) and the parking is free throughout the winter months. The sea is usually very dramatic, crashing up the cliffs and marine drivesā¦

I agree, in recent years (over 50s 
) Iāve become intolerant of extreme weather conditions, always looking for shade in the Summer, not being able to tolerate those high 30s temperatures anymore!
I hate very cold weather too, I feel the cold much more now than before.

We lived on the Braes of Angus and it was pretty cold in the Winter. Sometimes I had to wear my coat when we went to school.
