Ane wha spiks the Doric tae! I'm not so far from you, in Lossiemouth. It's difficult to define cold because it depends on what you're used to and there's a geographical influence to that. We're far enough north to look for sub-zero temps but those softies from the south look for much higher temps. The Eskimo man would be looking for something closer to absolute zero!

Aha that explains it.
I'm a naturalised alien (assorted) but the weather here is so much
better than *anywhere* else. Needless to say, I haven't been everywhere.

Cold = need to wear calf length boots with heels (zero or less).
Not cold = don't.

It hasn't been cold this winter yet (or for the last two winters before
this).

At the other end of the scale, anything over 18° is a wee bit too hot.
