Degrees for Staying Indoors?

[BabyMonkeys]

I'm in florida and the parents would not be happy if I took the kids out if it was below 60. I took them outside today and it was 64. I dressed them in long sleeve pajamas, put a pair of warm pants and sweat shirt on top of those, and then put their little hoodies on them. I can just see northerners mocking us

Haha it's funny how those in colder areas have "thicker blood". We had a sprinkler day at 68 degrees this fall ::

At my center toddlers (16 mos and up) go outside if it's over 15, and preschoolers go out if it's above 0. (All kids have to have snow pants, boots, hat, coat, and mittens.)

I live in MN though, it all depends on what people are used to in your area.

It's funny how the perspectives change from state to state. My son played rec soccer in Oregon and those kids played in the bitter cold and the pouring rain. Here in California, the game gets called off if there is a light drizzle.

We do love the sun here and I won't take the kids out when it's below 40 degrees. California has turned me into a pansy.

I've lived in the mountains for 8 years now, but grew up in central Florida. Now when I come back to visit I'm ready for the beach, and they're all like "it's only 68 degrees, it's freezing out!" Lol. It's all in what you get used to, I guess.

It was sunny and 45 after lunch here yesterday, and after a few minutes of running and jumping, kids were shedding their jackets.

[auntymimi]

We were all out playing in snow yesterday at 33 degrees and went out the day before at 27 degrees. In fact, yesterday, the kids kept trying to take off their jackets because they were too warm in their bibs and underarmor. For me it depends on wind chill, sunny or not, ect. I keep snow gear and boots for all my kiddos here so we go outside pretty much year round. Being outside is a huge part of my program.

! This was a recent factor in an NFL game....

My state team (MN Vikings) were said to have an advantage because they were playing out doors in the bitter cold and the team they were playing was not from the north.....

So it even affects the NFL ::

I'm in WI. Our schools go out zero and above. I stay in if it's below 20. I live in a wooded valley where the wind rarely blows. So really it's usually fairly decent outside. It was way too cold the beginning of this week....zero. Today was 34 and it was sunny and truly felt balmy! I told parents..."It's hot outside today!" They agreed!

Huge viking family here! They did way better than we thought they would...well, until the end. It's so hard to be a vikings fan sometimes!!

I remember back when I was in school, and it would hit 40 degrees. Everybody would be in short sleeves and mittens so we could have amazing snowball fights.

Sounds like here! I usually don't wear a coat until it reaches 32 or below

Well, I couldn't handle your bugs, so...I'm quite the wuss when it comes to ****roaches, big insects, snakes, and other "stuff". It's too cold here for all that.

My husband has been in pest control for 18+ years. He will always have a job! The only thing I am a total wuss with is spiders...cringe....bugs, rodents, snakes? I'm good. Just keep those damn spiders away!
