Charlie, surprisingly I have a low tolerance for cold. I can be cold 
sitting in the house at 70 degrees with three layers on if I am not 
active. I am actually warmer outside when I am working enough to get the 
blood circulating. But yes, layers are what I use. 3 layers for just 
sitting around the house, might get down to two if I am working. 
Outdoors I will add two more. Insulated coveralls and a parka on top of 
that. Minimum two layers on the legs, more often three if I want to be 
comfortable. I have no fat for insulation and my arms never see the sun 
even in the hottest days of summer. And the last thing I would ever need 
is air conditioning for the house. A furnace, well that is a necessity 
of life. Kind of like a block heater on an engine. Hey, it has warmed up 
here. Got up near 0 farenheit today with no wind and if felt positively 
warm in the sunshine.
