Shivering is the first sign of hypothermia. I will pass.

Actually I just saw a story on CBS morning show about how setting back your thermostat helps people loose weight while saving money. Bottom line the colder it is the more calories you have to burn to stay warm. The doctor they were interviewing said yes shivering would burn calories but you didn't have to set it back that much--you'd still loose weight. He said 64 is about where people start shivering and if you could gradually reduce your thermostat by 2 degrees at a time down to 66 most people could live in that w/o shivering.

Now of course this isn't some miracle weight loss program that sheds pants sizes in a week or even a month but it helps.
