Y'all are wusses. Back when I lived in New York, I'd go outside in a t-shirt in weather well under 32 degrees because the cold felt so good. However, it's probably because I'm highly insensitive to temperature - I always wore pants outside when I lived in Vegas, even in temperatures over 100 degrees - I'd even take walks around my neighborhood like that and come back totally unfazed. /freak


I really miss the snow and cold - it's good for those who haven't lived in it, but when you grew up around it, it's very depressing to go through Winter without it. Every time I see snow, it reminds me of Christmas time in Germany...ahh, the memories. The muggy, hot weather here is just plain awful.

I was supposed to go skiing today with school, but it got cancelled because of the weather. Colder than -30 Celsius with the wind chill. It doesn't help either that the public buses are on strike here. :/

Hmm I'm not sure if it's ever gotten below 0 (F) here in Albuquerque. It freezes though, and we do get snow every so often. It's funny because we'll get like 2 inches of snow and my school district is like "OMG SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN."

Obviously I was wearing gloves and my touque. I also had my headphones on, which cover my ears

P.S. Coldest air in Chicago since '96. That's a good wake-up call that it's NOT SAFE OUTSIDE.
I'm perfectly fine in my 18 degree NJ climate thank-you-very-much.

Edit: CTV news reported it's -36 right now with the wind chill and it's slowly dropping

Dude im in Quebec too :P

You would wear a coat if you didnt have a car and had to walk -.-

Not too cold here in TexaS! I can survive most of the winter "shorts and short sleeves". Unless I am outside for more than like 15 minutes on cold days when it goes near or below freezing. Then I might die. But otherwise I am good. Lolz some days it is literally "too warm" feels like su mmer almost, and othe days its below freezing. Yay for TexaS's climate patterns (well actually their not really patterns, more like cold one day and randomally warm, then more cold, then a random warm day).

Alright, so today it was -32c and I froze again, wearing the exact same clothing as last time, just this time zipped my coat all the way instead of having a tiny bit unzipped :P Today was also worse fog wise, I couldn't see cars while crossing the road, it was bad. I don't even know why they didn't shut down the buses, it was ****ing dangerous as hell

I hate hate hate hate hate the cold, the snow, and everything about Winter.

It's not as bad in NY as it is for you crazy ass Canadians, but god damn do I hate everything about it. I can't wait to move somewhere warmer all year long, preferably somewhere in Cali.
