Interesting read.

I've had MILD hypothermia once (aka a core of around 95 as the article points out), and I know how disoriented I was.

The WEIRD part? It was the week before Memorial Day in the Catskills in NY, in fact, it was on Slide Mountain

Mid May? Hypothermia? YEP, believe it. When we left NYC that morning it was in the 50s, and I said "Ah, what the heck, this heavy long sleave shirt and undershirt will be fine". By the time we got to the base of Slide, it must have been in the low 40s, and it was misting. By the time we got to 3500ft, we were in a snow flurry, but we pushed on. That's when it hit me - bad

Luckly, my buddies SAW what was going on, they grabbed a spare jacket (that didn't fit me), and wrapped it around me, they broke out the stove (and old Seva), and made me a big cup of Hot Coco, and got me to eat. By the time that was done, the front that had come through with the snow had passed, it was BACK into the upper 50s or 60s!

We finished the hike, but my buddies got to see what hypothermia looks like, and I got to experience it. I couldn't think, I could not really talk, I could not stop shaking. Heck, I had a pack with water and a stove too (2 stoves, lots of food water etc between us, but I only had that 2 layers of shirt (the outer a shirt-jack). Who would expect it the week before Memorial Day in the Catskills (Not normally a cold time)
