The first 2 are absolutely true! After a bad cold spell, I'll drive around with the window down when it gets above freezing - if I'm in my chore gear of course. I like walking around Pomona when it's 50-65 above. You can tell the Canadians from the natives by the racing t-shirts vs the racing jackets.

I remember one time it got down to -55 C for 5 or 6 days. When it warmed back up to -25 I was outside bbqing in some shorts and a T-shirt and this truck driver came along and asked if I was crazy or something. I told him it was finally warm out! lol.
