Ha, I can see it - I'm going to be very self-conscious the next time I'm in the cold. Maybe they feel like their breath is going to somehow create a warming aura around them. It is the same here but the opposite. You can tell northerners, if not by the accent, by the way they always have sweaters and closed-toed shoes even in the middle of summer. Natives have toes showing 11 months out of the year here :)

You forgot to mention the excessive sweating, farmer tans, and fried skin. The sweater helps soak up the moisture, cover the ridiculous tan lines, and serves as an impenetrable layer of sunscreen.
Oh this made me laugh. That totally explains it! I will not judge them for wearing those sweaters in 100 degrees F anymore. Clearly they are needed :)
