You're right, it totally depends on tolerance. I know some people from SC that find it "arctic frigid" when it drops in the 40's (F, 5C).

I find the first half of October quite pleasant. The fall foliage is at it's peak, and the days are typically dry and clear. Expect temperatures anywhere from 5 to 15 celsius and right around the freezing point at night.
