I watched a F/O wearing the summer uniform do an exterior inspection in LGA last month when it was 15 degrees with 30 knots of wind. He had his hands under his armpits and his chin tucked into his chest. He then, clearly in pain, shuffled/ran around the shadow of the aircraft, never once looking up at it. It was so professional looking. The rampers all fell to the ground laughing there asses off.
The worst part was that I viewed this from the gate window as did several passengers who all commented on it. They didn't think it was funny at all and questioned the competence of the individual to be a safe pilot.
