Once again I return to a question I asked myself when I first read GURPS: Campaigns... isn't 35*F WAY too cold for someone to live indefinitely? As someone who lives in a pretty warm climate, I'm not sure I'd be too comfortable at 60 degrees, and I feel like plenty of humans would be doing HT rolls around 40-50, not a mere 3F above freezing!

I'm not really a master in biology though, so I'm not sure how an average, non-desert-dwelling human would do in cold weather. The numbers just seem odd to me.
