I recall going to the French Quarter one cold, wet, and windy day. I lasted about an hour. As I recall, it was about 40F (or 60 degrees warmer than you were shooting in).

Jeffery, that wasn't "snow" in the shot on Steve's page. That was frost. It was so cold that the condensation from my breathing froze on to my beard before it got a chance to get away from my face. At that moment it was a little colder than 20 below. I remember it well. I about got frost-bitten by trying to work the aluminium focusing knob on my Rolleicord (the shutter kept working though ... except for the slow speeds).
