I’m in Boston and honestly mid/upper 20s is pretty comfortable unless the wind come with it.

west Michigan here, and unless it's less than 20 Fahrenheit, it's not even worth mentioning. NW Indiana, same here. Unless the wind is howling off of Lake Michigan, then you're more concerned that your pipes might freeze.

Northern Ontario, so probably -20 - -40 Celsius.
At the start of winter -20 would be considered cold but by February after a cold snap of -40 for a few days you think man it’s pretty warm out at -20
Canada eh!

-20 is cold, -30 is freezing, any colder than -35 is "don't leave the house for any reason"

-20 is cold, -30 is freezing, any colder than -35 is "don't leave the house for any reason" That sounds about right for where I live, too. Northern Canada, FYI.

What do you mean by cold?
Chilly is one thing, but when I'm sprinting toy car while shivering uncontrollably...then I would say about 10 degrees, albeit usually with wind-chill.

South East England
Usually below 10c is cold for me but I won’t be reaching for a big coat until it’s below 5c. It usually doesn’t go below -5 where I live.

For me it has to be at least mid 50s before I put pants on and in the mid 40s before I put on a jacket. But the other day it was rainy so high 70s and people were all over town in heavy coats and sweatshirts. So no clue what most of the locals consider cold.
I do get stares when it is 56 and I got sandals shorts and a t shirt.

Got a different take on it living in NYC.
Since the seasons can be divided into Freezing, Hot as Hell, and Somewhere in-Between. It depends on when.
In the hot and humid summer, 65 will bring the jackets out.
In the winter, under 25F is enough to say, ‘f*** it I’m not doing it today’

See I have lived most of my life in the deep south. Where we get 4 weeks of true winter.
But locally people act like anything below 70 is super cold. Or like when it hits October people dig out their coats and stuff. When normally October is still warm.

Anything 15F or less but there are other factors. Is it day or night? Is it sunny? Is it windy? 15 and sunny with no wind isn't bad. I work outdoors and 10 feet of elevation usually increases wind and it just chills you to the bone. At times we get real feels as low as 20F below zero.

I live in rural Manitoba, it gets down to almost -50 C on a bad winter day here. I generally consider anything below -20 C pretty f***ing cold. If the snowmobile won’t start, you’re dealing with one coldass day.

Here in Central Texas, I'd say anything below 65 or 60(depending on factors like how Windy it is or precipitation) might require a light jacket.
For me, 55 or below is where it gets "cold."
I grew up in the northern Midwest, and it was normal to go about our day in below zero temperatures in the winter.
Idk why, but the cold in Texas just seems to hit way harder. Last time I was visiting up north, it was below 20 and snowing, and I hardly felt it.
Around 40 degrees here in Texas? I'm shivering like crazy

For me personally, I don't consider it cold until it gets down in the 20s here in northwest IL. It is all relative, if we had a 45 degree day right now with how brutally hot and humid it has been the past few weeks, I'd probably be in the winter coat plus hoodie garb.
I'll share a story of the differences just a few hundred miles can make. Back in January of 2014, I was enlisted to do the network engineer thing for our disaster recovery exercise in Alpharetta, Georgia. Back here in the Quad Cities, we had been in a cold snap of terrible proportions. We usually have about six weeks during the winter where it is just brutal. We left the airport and it was below zero and had been about that cold for about a week. We land in Atlanta 1.5 hours later and it is 45. We are walking down the aisles and walkways taking off our coats, hoodies, gloves, etc. The Atlantians were bundled up like there were about to run the Iditarod. The next day, an 'ice storm' hit the greater Atlanta area. It completely shut down the Atlanta area to the point that people were abandoning their cars on the highways. The staff at the DR facility we were running our DR exercise out of (which is sort of ironic considering) were sleeping on cots and freaking out that we weren't freaking out. I told them that we call this a normal Tuesday back home. To this day, it is still one of the most surreal experiences of my life.
