The guy is going to a city...not the arctic circle

[Herra Tohtori]

It is a widely known fact that bus stops are one of the coldest places in our planet, and city streets can be quite the wind tunnel system themselves, so I don't see any specific difference between cold in a city and cold in the south pole, except that in city you can get to warm faster and easier and getting lost in a blizzard is rather unlikely.

Same principles apply.

I wear shorts and a t-shirt down to minus 5 and only put on something warmer than a hoody and toque if it's colder than minus 20 so i very much doubt that my personal opinion would be of any value here.

Now I don't know if you are joking or serious. This is because I do know there are people who run outside at -20 C wearing only shorts, jogging shoes and pipos around here.

Haven't tried that personally. Yet that is.
