Frileux in February! In honor of this (hopefully) last month of winter, I'm going to

Frileux means "sensitive to the cold," as in
"Les personnes âgées sont souvent frileuses" ("Elderly people are often
sensitive to the cold") (WordReference.com)--as well as polar bears invented by sadistic children's authors:
