Yea, even for me that temp is a little intense...
but, I did see a thread on here a long while back where a guy kept his soft top off in the winter and came up with a rather ridiculous/funny/ingenious solution to stay warm. He ran flexible tubing, like what runs to a dryer vent from the vents of the JK directly into his coat. Pretty funny, and it worked. I just tried searching for the thread but can't seem to find it. Funny stuff... Only in a Jeep!!!

my CJ-7 has a NON operating heater LOL
My old CJ had NO TOP for about 2 years and it was the DD and yeah it would get COLD drove around in northern AZ in ALOT of snow with no top and yaeh at the time it was fun.
Did it this way at my last duty assignment in OK LOL
and MAN people looked at me weird.
and FYI I'M SPOILED NOW I Bitch and moan when it's below 60* now. (and I'm usualy running a bikini top only now (doors with the kids))
when i was still living in texas and in highschool i had a cj7 and didnt have much of a top for it. on the way to school i would be bundled up with the defroster on since that was the only vent for the heater.
it was pretty chilly during the winter, usually below freezing.

Back in my younger days (a looooong time ago), I drove a CJ with no top or doors all year around. The top had disintegrated with age, and I was a poor college student and couldn't afford to replace it. I remember clearing the snow off my seats with a shovel before heading off to my morning class. Good times.
Too old for that now, though. And todays Jeeps aren't made for that, with all the electronics and stuff. Still fun to remember.

I have a great memory (30 yrs ago) of going to get a Christmas tree in a snow storm with my CJ2A. Had the top off tree stuck in the back grinning all the way there ad back as slowly froze. Got a wave or 2 from some non jeepers that day.

For a trail rig, yeah. Not for a daily driver. What happens if you need to go to an event which requires you to dress up? Doubt wearing a suit in a Jeep filled with dirt, mud, ice, snow, water is fun.

i was heading out for breakfast this morning, suns up, 27 degrees, wind chill about 18, barely a cloud in the sky, got the top down my Jeep, and people start flashing me and waving hard at me. they were giving me real strange looks. i was thinking something was wrong so i pulled over to check my tires, everything was fine. i just dont get it. people are weird sometimes
