How cold is cold?

[Taz_Zoee]

I am a born and raised California girl. I would for sure freeze to death in those temps. I'd be a popsicle!
It gets cold up in Tahoe, but I'm just visiting usually. I could NEVER live in temps like that. Well, I guess I "could", but I choose not to. I'll visit anytime though.

Wait, what?! You mean, people go OUT in that? They don't shut down businesses and schools and tell everyone to stay inside?

Sometimes, I think all our technology makes us do dumb stuff. Like insist people go to work in that type of temp.

No, you have to live in the South. Just 1 inch of snow and everything shuts down.

Yeah, technology is making us dumb.

That seems a little ridiculous. I generally don't mind extreme temperatures anymore, thanks to my job as a costume character during the summer, especially the cold. I mean after standing in a furry costume in 97 Degrees F weather I usually appreciate the cold. -33 C sounds a BIT to cold for me though!

WOO HOOOOOO! It's warmed up! Currently only -4oC. Going to feel like summer when I get out there!

It's rather chilly here today - in the low 40's. It's raining and there is even a little sleet mixed in. Too early to be getting that nonsense after our brutal winter last year!

We have just 40s & rain right now, but tonight we get flurries & "brutal cold" as the weatherman puts it.( In the 20s) that's cold enough for me.

I headed out yesterday to PetsMart (cross town) when it started to sleet
pretty heavy so I changed my plans & shopped for kitty food& litter at the local Kroger store. ( 1/2 block away)


I don't see how any machinery works at those colder temps.

Winter in Canada:

It's winter in Canada
And the gentle breezes blow
Seventy miles an hour
...At thirty-five below.

Oh, how I love Canada
When the snow's up to your butt
You take a breath of winter
And your nose gets frozen shut.

Yes, the weather here is wonderful
So I guess I'll hang around
I could never leave Canada
Cuz I'm frozen to the ground!

[Lilith Cherry]

Sandie that poem is so funny--- and so true! Right now it is minus 3c here but freezing rain overnight and tomorrow morning

I used to live in Grand Centre/Cold Lake, Alberta ... the day we arrived it was minus 35c with a wind chill of minus 50c. Instant frozen skin!! I did love the place though!

After reading that I got the chills & am going to have to throw another couple of pieces of wood in the stove. Burr!

Send us some winter and cold stuff! We are sweating and heating up here. We had a party in school today. And I was almost fried! Its 26th Nov!! What's up with the weather?! Winter didn't come last year and this year it came for a few days only Send us some snow and loads of winter!

It is -12 here with a ice hanging off of everything. It is real pretty with the sun hitting it. The trees & bushes look like they are covered with beautiful translucent crystals. We were lucky the electricity didn't go off.
