Many people think that only temps 32°F/0°C and below cause hypothermia, a dangerous fallacy.

It doesn't take extreme cold to kill you. I was reading somewhere that most deaths by hypothermia take place in the 32°F/0°C to 50°F/10°C range. People dress for for t-shirt weather or warmer, get into a bad situation, have no jacket (etc), don't know how to keep warm, don't know or don't have the equipment to make fire, and they die.
