Yeah, I noticed that after I posted and I totally agree with you. That is ridiculous. I have family that lives just outside of St Louis and the winters there can be VERY cold (and summers VERY hot). 40 degrees as a cut off is really, really strange in that environment.

Plus, kids have wicked metabolisms. 40 degrees to them probably feels more like 60 degrees to the rest of us. Why do you think you have to remind most kids to put on coats all the time?
