What’s wrong with this picture

I’m walking my dog. The ambient temperature outside is about 18 F, with a wind that makes it a bit chillier. I have on a sweatshirt, pants, heavy socks, a winter coat liner, a woman’s parka from Barrow that goes below my knees with the wolf ruff pulled up over my head and secured by a red scarf tied around my neck. Heavy gloves protect my hands. Coming towards me is a young boy who I would guess to be in junior high. He’s wearing light pants, a t-shirt, sneakers and a back pack. And nothing else.

And I have to ask myself… are the two of us even close to being in the same weather zone?
