I went XC ski mountaineering on Fox, Tasman and Franz Jozef Glaciers late Sept & early Oct. Altitudes 8000-10000 ft. Little pack keyring thermometers indicated -8C during the day. Temps were maybe -15C -> -18C at night. We didn't have accurate thermometers. If the Sun was out, we were above the clouds most of the time, tee shirts and thin thermal or lycra ski pants. As soon as clouds & accompanying wind came in, we dove straight into our packs for goretex overpants, down parkas gloves etc.
