Hmm?..I recorded quite few nights of -6 or -7 over the 25 years I lived in the Canberra region doing astronomy  . Since I moved to the Newcastle area, start of 2007, a very cold winter night is around +5C  I too was at the scope with shorts, Tshirt and maybe a jumper? I have been here over two year now so the body is de-aclimatising (is that a word?) zero C at Kurri Kurri (it's inland a bit) felt quite cold and required a few layers and IIS beanie

Thanks for the explanation Mike, you want to try coming where i come from, maybe thats why i dont feel it? my cold Northern blood ....
i have been in the Highlands of Scotland when it was -22, the sky was ablaze and it was fabulous, although i have been lucky enough to have once had some contract work on the north coast of Iceland, where it got down to -42 !!
anyway ... back on target ..
