It's true.
But put me in the rather-be-warm-than-cold camp. But this is one of those things like being a morning person or a night person: ne'er the twain shall meet. There's a limit to how many layers you can put on - especially if there are no blankets - and you're more or less forced to sit still, so you can't do the moving around thing to warm up. The one godsend in these situations is warm laptops.
