All temperatures in Celcius:

I usually wear a t-shirt or a light long-sleeve shirt and sweatpants (I <3 sweatpants) from between +12-25 degrees. Anything higher and I wear shorts. Anything lower, and I'll don a jacket, though I almost never have anything very heavy under the jacket unless the temperature drops into the negative.

I'm like doc, cold temperatures are good for me. Right now I'm in a t-shirt and shorts and it's 17 degrees in this room (I have a thermometer on my clock). And this is ideal temperature for me.

I'm ok bouth in warm as in cold weather couse in Croatia and the rest of the Balkans it can be
extreamly cold and extreamly warm.
I'm most comfterbal in medium temperatures, for me that is betwene 10 C to 25 C (50 F to 77 F) in these temperatures I mostly wear a t-shirt.
Beneath 10 C I wear a jacket, I dress warmer after
0 C (32 F), after -5 C (27 F) it's uncomfterbal but after -10 C (14 F) unbarebal.
In warm weather I can last to 42 C (108 F) unharmed but if higher I'll jump in ice water.

Edit: I think I have to thanke my genes why I'm so resistant couse my mother is from Dubrovnik where
during the summer temp. to 40 C (104 F) can come easaly.
And in summer 2007 it came over 42 C (104 F).
And my father is from Zagreb when in Winter it can be to -5 C (27 F), it gets colder outside Zagreb.

I generally like it hot, though in high school I was known to wear shorts, sandals and just a couple of shirts in the snow.
More recently, I've been known to wear long pants and multiple shirts while in Hawaii in July, and I don't think I ever wore shorts while in Mexico. I did get a hell of a laugh at the pool when it started raining and everyone got out of the pool and ran inside. That was hilarious.
As for temperatures of hands/etc. I usually have very cold hands. I've actually touched a thermometer in a room and watched it go down. My coworkers have told me I have the hands of the dead. They've been so cold before that touch-screens didn't detect them.
Right now I work in an environment that can be about eighty degrees (F) and still wear a coat.

Braving the elements while walking to the mailbox in -50 is what I call an adventure.
Just so everyone's aware, -40 is the temperature at which Celsius and Fahrenheit meet. So -50 is actually colder in Celsius than in Fahrenheit.

I'm fine in jeans and t-shirt between around 55F and 85F. Below 55F but above 0F I just throw on a hoodie, although I wear hoodies pretty much all the time.

Last night I had some 400+ degree oil splashed on my hand. No burn resulted. It kind of freaks me out.
