I had the top down all day at the track last Fri. Guess I'm a 'tard.
Helmet makes a big difference, though. Plus, I owned a snowmobile for 10 years. Convertible is no biggie.
However, I've been driving around town with the top up.

I go topdown in the cold as long as it's not raining. Windows and heat up. Head gets a little cold if I get on the freeway but I haven't had a full head of hair for 10 years 
, so i'm used to it. I used to do it in my Boxster too, I guess back then I was new to a convertible. I sometimes see older guys in their MGs or Triumphs driving around in the cold with scarves and caps on. I'm sure those cars don't keep the heat in as well as ours do.

Last Sunday it was about 38F in Redmond and we put the top down after driving around a bit. It felt great! We kept ourselves to the side roads and had the mid-level heat at about mid-blast. Of course, we were wearing winter jackets and my wife was also wearing gloves and a cap. Amazingly, it was her idea to put the top down and she's always cold.
