kind of like mosquitos and other pests
it is 40s & 50s here in the mornings, so we are out in shorts, possible sweatshirt or long sleeve shirt, natives have the Dallas Cowboy warm up jackets, ski masks and gloves. Then it hits the 70s or 80s in the afternoon, and the layers start coming off. Invariably when I get to the office at noon the heat is still on even though it is 75 outside

I would be absolutely cooking in that. 
It is supposed to get to -16 celcius, here. (I think that's somewhere in the single digits on the Farenheit scale.)

Their eggs go into hibernation, but the mosquitoes themselves actually do die off, for the few months that it gets really cold around here. That's one thing that I like about the cold - it gets rid of the insects.
