As Spring nears, what outside temp does the weatherman have to forecast for you to toss the jeans/pants back in the closet, and wear shorts?

I was out in shorts and t-shirt today. I think it was around 5 to 10 this afternoon ("40 to 45" for you Fahrenheit dudes).

Well I break out the long pants if its much colder than 65, unless its in the morning, where it can be in the high 50's, so I sometimes where long pants to bed. Living in Hawaii has its advantages =)

I'll wear shorts to the store in the middle of the night in the snow if I have to. It really doesn't matter to me.

I live in LA, so it doesn't faze me at all. I'll wear shorts all winter long. I wear them in the rain too. I actually prefer wearing shorts in the rain b/c the back of my pants' legs end up with dirty water drops that I kick up while walking. So, unless it's snowing out, I'll probably wear shorts.


late.

I wore them about in 32 f, in South Carolina on a recent visit! Man, it felt like 70 degrees, with a brisk chill! :)

I'd vote on your poll but the temp doesn't go low enough. I'm very warm blooded so I wear shorts whenever I pull them out of my dresser. 10degrees or 100degrees, it doesn't matter

My temp wasn't even on the poll. As soon as it gets above freezing I consider it!!!! Of course, when you live in MN it's a given.

Grew up in Minnesota. I need shorts when its 50 or above.
Am living in VA now, so am not as hardy as I used to be.

When I was in Minnesota it was 60 degrees. I didn't start wearing a coat until 40 degrees.

Now that I live in the Northwest I'm a huge wuss.

around +15C if I know it will keep up that hot for the day.

Sadly we have not gotten hot days like that in quite a while. The past two summers have SUCKED. I remember actually seeing +30 some time. This would be abnormal mind you but we'd get at least a week of it per year. Now we're lucky to get a week of no rain.
