Yeah? I keep 5 extra shirts on my body and peel them off accordingly.
Like Redwood sez, you cn always dress for the cold.

But, yeh, sometimes I'm thinking of Pebble Beach or someplace where we don't need no stinkin' plummin' code! when it gets real bad.

So is it more comfortable wearing one shirt and changing it when needed or wearing 5 plus whatever else and taking them off when neeeded? Ya I thought so

I keep all my items I don't want to freeze in a lite plastic tool box: wax, pipe dope, flux etc. Then I just bring it in at the end of the day.

Actually I do find it more comfortable to work when I can remove/add a layer when needed.

It's the frozen fingers that bother me the most.

I hate the cold weather Your body is stiff your joints hert and you cant move due to the layers of clothes. Ill take 110 degree wether any day. Sweating is the best cur for hang over.
