I live in AZ, and I haven't worn a pair of shorts in over 20 years.
Are your legs horrifically burned?
Are you a member of some kind of extreemly conservative sect?
Do you buy your own clothes?
Are you so short that shorts are pants?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I tend to wear leggings and an polo shirt, even in winter. It's the breathing that tends to do me in, as I smoke like a fething chimney!

Nope. I just hate shorts.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

That is a common misconception.
You do not get sick by being cold.
No matter how many times your mother and grandmother told you not to go out in the cold because you would catch a cold or the flu, it just doesn’t work that way.
Getting a cold is caused by a virus, not by sweating when it is cold outside.
If being cold made you sick the people in Alaska would never be healthy.
This is bs. Your body focuses blood flow on your torso and brain when it is cold (that's why you get a head ache when you eat ice cream, because your body assumes you are cold and pumps more blood to the brain). With less blood flow to the rest of your body the flow of white blood cells which are the frontline of your immune system are restricted and you become more susceptible to sickness. To put it simply, your body is too busy fending off hypothermia to be bothered with things like colds.
What hotsauceman1 is talking about with sweating is that once you sweat in clothes in the cold the clothes get wet and you become colder.
I go mountain biking in cold weather regularly. Usually I wear wool lined leggings underneath my shorts. I imagine you can get something similar for running.

Only if you are cold over a long period of time and that would result in more bactieral and fungal infections whereas colds involve the respiratory system and are viral infections. The various viruses that cause colds are able to survive better in the environment better during cold weather than in warmer weather which is why colds are associated with winter, at least that is what one of my old lecturers told me and it sounds plausable.

The prefect example of someone missing the point.
Do not underestimate the Squats. They survived for millenia cut off from the Imperium and assailed on all sides. Their determination and resilience is an example to us all.

Its just a shame that they couldn't fight off Andy Chambers.

I'm fairly jealous. I've been trying to bike back and forth from work a few times a week, about to bite the bullet and ride back in some seriously chill wind without my windbreaker. If it wasn't for the wind, I wouldn't really care about the cold.
Cycled a race in Boston - zero wind @ 20 degrees the whole time. Felt fine after 20 minutes of riding.
I'm from Ohio, almost anything classified as "sunny" is shorts weather... I usually draw the line at 50 degrees

There is a constant increase in hospitalizations and mortality during winter months; cardiovascular diseases as well as respiratory infections are responsible for a large proportion of this added morbidity and mortality. Exposure to cold has often been associated with increased incidence and severity of respiratory tract infections. The data available suggest that exposure to cold, either through exposure to low environmental temperatures or during induced hypothermia, increases the risk of developing upper and lower respiratory tract infections and dying from them; in addition, the longer the duration of exposure the higher the risk of infection. Although not all studies agree, most of the available evidence from laboratory and clinical studies suggests that inhaled cold air, cooling of the body surface and cold stress induced by lowering the core body temperature cause pathophysiological responses such as vasoconstriction in the respiratory tract mucosa and suppression of immune responses, which are responsible for increased susceptibility to infections. The general public and public health authorities should therefore keep this in mind and take appropriate measures to prevent increases in morbidity and mortality during winter due to respiratory infections.
