I always went cut off sleeves and no-show socks when it was cold for HS games.  Of course, the coldest game I ever played in was in Daytona Beach. 
But we had games in the 40s in north FL.  That Daytona game was a playoff game in late Nov or Dec and raining, below 40.  Fukin sucked.  We got trounced.

The game displayed a sharp contrast in the locations of the two schools. Although played in the typical warm weather city of Orlando, the game time temperature was only about 40 degrees. Most Miami players wore long sleeves and would stand by heaters on the sidelines, however almost all Wisconsin players wore short sleeves and stated prior to the game that it felt like spring. The 56,747 fans in attendance was the highest total to ever watch a Champs Sports Bowl game since the game moved to Orlando in 2001. The attendance number also ranks second overall in bowl history as the only other game with more fans present was the 1990 Blockbuster Bowl played between Florida State and Penn State in Miami.
When I first moved out to the Phoenix Area, I officiated a High School Game up in Payson (quite a bit higher in elevation) and game time temps were in the low 50s.  The rest of my crew wanted to wear long sleeves but I insisted that we wear short sleeves.  

After 10 years here in the valley, I wear long sleeves if I end up officiating a high school at the higher elevations, even if it is in the 50s. 

Your views of what is cold definitely changes.

Yeah, my students are wearing parkas when a cold front comes through in the fall, PLUNGING the temps down into the 70s.  For real.

We had a brutal week in Cincy 20 years back, the high temperature was below zero every day of the week.  I got to work the next day and the radio said it was 17°F.  There was no wind and I unzipped my coat.

I think Cincy holds the record for lowest official temperature in Ohio.  The lowest official I ever experienced was -24°F.  My buddy who lived out a ways said they had -33°F on their thermometer which was quite accurate.  At -40°. you can skip the F and C.

I looked at the picture and I realized I have no idea what Rutgers calls their sports teams. Which is strange because I can name probably every other D1 and a lot of D2 program names.

I actually have two friends who are big Rutgers fans.  One is a Trustee.   Both are Jersey natives,  one lives here in Indy.

With their results, their mascot should be this knight:

Schiano will have them playing good football, but they won't ever win a conference title.

I think it was before 1994 as I recall where I was working at the time and they moved us in 1992 to another location.  That was expensive, and silly really.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Minnesota is -60F, up at Tower on the morning of February 2, 1996. A quirk in the geography of the Mesabi Range allows super cold air to pool near the town. The coldest temperature ever recorded in what is now the Twin Cities is -34F on January 12, 1970. 

During undergrad, there was a week in January 2004 was one of those weeks where it didn't get above zero even for a high. Classes continued as normal. Finally, on Friday, it was sunny and it warmed up into the 20s. We were walking to our DBM class when we passed a campus tour going the other way. Someone was heard to remark that if someone from Florida was in that group and heard us talking about how warm it was when they were freezing, they would turn tail and run.
