I think people were a lot tougher a long time ago? Back in the 20's and 30's my mother used to hang up laundry when there was snow on the ground, below freezing with plain shoes on, light sweater only and never caught so much as a cold! The laundry would dry and be stiff as a board when she brought it in but when it heated up......it was dry? Now days my wife won't even go down stairs to do any laundry if the outside air temp is less than 50 degrees!
