21 here. yesterday it was close to 80. I have flannel lined jeans for weather like this. @Margali you need some, they came from LLBean. You only need 2 pair, one to wear, one to wash. Thermal shirt, long sleeved denim shirt, sweat hoodie. Then I go over those with Carhart overalls and a Carhart jacket. Thick wool socks and I'm toasty warm.

You Nawthurners can call me a wuss, but I don't care. I step out in style, I tell you!

Must coffee and feed animals. It's 18F outside right now. Crazy considering it was 74F a couple days ago.
About the same here a bit north of you. Got down to 12. When normal people were wearing t-shirts fri.

I put the incubator top in the brooder box tilted up on the waterer. So yay :thumbsup all 10 chicks made it through the freeze at 5-6 days old. It did read 60 last night and this morning. It of course also has a heat lamp. I also added a sheet of insulation to 1 side and the front yesterday to help hold the heat in.

I usually tell them Nawthurners come to me when it's 118 and 87% humidity and lets go to the hay field.

What is it like living in a state with basically no winter? Y’all are damn lucky.
I've noticed here it can get colder than Kansas City in the winter although for a much shorter period of time and hotter than Dallas later. Single and negative temps are pretty common here. It just goes from 75 and sunny to rain, then snow that melts to ice covered everything with negative temps.
I'm currently working 400 mls north of the house (in NE, IA not so much) and it's nicer to stay cold with no Dew point than to drop 40 to 80 degrees sometimes every or every other week.

They weren't happy in the backpack until about toddler size.
Can you blame them? Who wants to have their face shoved into a never changing scene .... your back?? Toddler can see over your shoulder.

Heated seats, even
Won't help a kid in a car seat! My car has heated seats and steering wheel. I rarely use either since if it is cold enough to use them I'm wearing clothing for that weather anyway. Plus, now that we have the Level 2 EV charging station, I preheat the car while it is plugged in. I do the same with DW's Leaf. Of course that works only because she leaves between 6 and 7 AM and I try to make sure I don't have to be anywhere before 10 ;) She takes the cord out of her car and sticks it in mine.
