Idk wether it's just where I live but I'm in the north east of England and it gets very cold and windy and wet, many a time my cig would be wet and soggy and I'd be fighting with an umbrella while trying to keep warm doing a little jog all the while feeling the snow and Ice melt through my socks!!
Ah but winter here is often mid 20s Celsius or even warmer. I have actually worn shorts on Christmas before.
