I am firmly convinced that chilly is colder than cold. Cold hisses across your skin; chilly gets into your bones. Cold means a parka in the snow, and thin watery sunlight; chilly means trying to type with mittens in your office, and sniffles, and a deadline.
California has chilly. Of all the places I've lived*, northern California does chilly in the biggest way.
*eg Boston

Re: i think i might have had something to do with this. :-)
in the north east (and other places, but i know the northeast) we PREPARE for snow.
halloween costumes are made to be, at the very least, *warm* if not insulating. that is the weather pattern.
when i was in college people would be wearing shorts once it hit 35F. i'm not *that* crazy, but come on... i live in san jose, california. it is winter. when it is 52F in my bedroom it counts as Fucking Cold!!!!!
right? :)
