Ruanaidh, here's a little fun you can have with native El Pasoans. Once the weather gets "cold" - below 55 F , intentionally walk by a native El Pasoan (who is now wearing thick socks, thermal underwear, undershirt, longsleeve shirt, sweater, winter coat, wool cap, scarf, and gloves) in a kilt; and before they can ask the winter question, ask them "Aren't you warm?" Hijole!
You're guaranteed interesting results every time!

PS - the first couple times I would reccommend doing this to people you know. Strangers can react unpredictably.
