Default What does it mean exactly

I'm not sure it has a scientific basis, but I know exactly what it
means. When it feels cold inside a centrally heated house, that as far
as I am concerned is penetrating cold. There certainly has been a lot
of that recently.

It doesn't penetrate my house... I just turn on my fan heater (s) at
such times. Not very ecologically friendly but it feels... nice!

I assume that the term 'penetrating frost' refers simply to a
combination of frost and wind sufficent to penetrate normal "old
style" winter clothing such as an overcoat. A good pair of windproof
gloves, boots and warm socks, warm trousers and a windproof well-lined
jacket with a good hood is all that's needed to stop it penetrating.

If people can't be bothered to dress properly for the weather, or at
least have such clothing in the back of the car in case of
emergencies, tough!
