Ed,

Here are some possibilities,

1. Wear a scarf.

2.  Fly slower.

3.  Note that at cruise, the cabin becomes low pressure and the canopy 
baloons out a bit - this balooning "shortens" the canopy (as much as 1/8 
inch), thus allowing your perfect "on the ground" seal to leak in flight, 
allowing the low pressure cabin to suck in cold air.  A double "p" strip seal 
mounted on one or more layers of doublesided tape may solve the problem as 
long as the seal is crushed enough to take up the gap opened up in flight.

4.  Only fly in warmer climates.

5.  Take up skiing.
