It's gloomy, foggy and cold up here in Cooper's Hill, Jamaica. I'm soon going to don my winter gear and venture outdoors to view the full cold moon. Ghost is a beautiful Sulcata!

How cold does it get there? Probably what I would still consider a heat wave? Lol
Upper 40' and 50's in winter is warm for me.

That's what my wife likes the house temperature at. You know.. with the "change" and all. Woman wants to freeze me out. I keep threatening to go to the Holiday Inn. lol
You hubs don't ever get it. That's why we want it so low, so you will go to the hotel, but you guys always only threaten to go lol

I don't know if you are familiar with https://www.youtube.com/@CeciliaBlomdahl who lives in the most northern habited place but it is bonkers to me. Also that people just leave babies outside in strollers to sleep in the cold...
I remember seeing a video of her dog. We do that baby in strollers thing here in Finland too.

Like actual human babies? Or am I missing something here?
Yes, actual human babies with special clothes and sleeping bags. Nowadays a baby monitor is of course used. If done right, it is safe. There are different opinions about how cold is too cold. I think the most popular opinion is that the limit is somewhere between 23 F to 5 F. But some people think that up to -22 F is still safe.

A little anecdote, my mom has told me, that one time my face wasn't properly covered up and I got a small frostbite on my cheek.

You would have CPS called on you here…

Also @The_Four_Toed_Edward saw this and thought of you…
