This depends upon the individual dog. A Siberian Husky is fine outside (with proper nutrition, water and a winter coat) well below freezing and in snow and wind. However, a Boxer tends to get chilled starting at about 40 degrees F.

It depends on the dog, and how long it is outside. A dog that has a thin coat of fur and is otherwise not made for cold weather will be effected much more than a dog with a thick fur coat and bred to withstand the cold (such as a Husky). A dog, without proper shelter and warmth from cold weather can become sick.

What kind of weather do staffies go out in?

Staffordshire Bull Terriers are a hardy breed but have a short coat that does not protect them well from very cold weather. Some dogs don't like rain (my Staffy doesn't) but this is different with every dog. As long as your dog isn't too cold they can go out in most weather.
