Chas--When people on the mainland say how can you be cold at 68 degrees, I ask what they keep their house temp at. Most keep it at like 72. Don't forget most of us have no heat here and walls are thin, sometimes single wall, and sometimes much colder inside than out. Plus, once you've acclimated to higher/more stable temps, it doesn't take much variation to make you feel the difference. On cold nights -- "cold" being like 65 -- I put on socks and long-pants jammies. It's also a very damp cold.
