It's 12 degrees and you're cold? O_O' That's about the average temperature for England, year round. Right now it's 3 degrees here - pretty warm for winter...
heh i agree. i'm in a skirt and strappy top. i don;t know why. i think i felt like being a pirate wench last night. *wonders* anyhoo. good old english temp!
I was thinking the same thing until I realised it was probably 12F, in which case it's -11C. Which is pretty cold by my standards (it rarely gets below 0C here).
Maybe we can average out our temperatures, they're predicting 39C for tomorrow here...
Nope. It's degree Celsius. But usually it's 26-31 degrees Celsius, and at heart I am a sub-tropical person. Oddly, in Korea (roughly constantly -10 degrees C at least), I am fine in a long-sleeved shirt and thick jacket.
*de-lurks* Hi! I love your stories...and just had to comment on the weather. I live in Canada, smack in the the middle, well away from (what I'm told) weather-regulating ocean currents. Today it's -21C, probably about -32C with the wind chill, yesterday it was -33C, and by the end of this month, we'll be going into a cold spell that lasts two weeks. Cold spell meaning of course, -40C before windchill. it usually gets to -50. Would you believe that I live less than 2 hours from the American border? lol. When it gets to -6 in Spring, people start taking of their parkas. So cherish the weather and be glad you're not here!
Yay for Canadian stalkers! Seems like I'm not the only one with waist-high snow dunes in my backward... ^^' But I wouldn't say they're luckier than us. I mean... Insulating houses to keep the warmth inside and buying more winter clothes than one actually needs is vital for us, but for them? Unless I suddenly decide I want to play outside in a bikini just to see if my skin will actually turn blue, I'd bet I'm no colder than them.
Here here, Ohio needs to become a sub-tropical zone fast. (But somehow magically without effecting the rest of the world, cause god knows how hot it'd have to be in the tropics for Ohio to be that warm X3;;;).
I swear, I feel bad for all you peoples. I live in a desert. I never am awake for the really cold temperatures (those happen at night, but still, I don't think its ever dropped below 20 here). But, on the flip side, I have to deal with 120 degree weather during the summer.
Iowa sucks. We had a wind chill warning today and yesterday, -20f windchill yesterday. At the moment its 5 degrees, feels like 5 degrees, feels balmy compared to yesterday night. I'm into triple level pjs. (My room being the only one in the house without any heating duct...space heater only does so much) I have also stolen every extra blanket, at last count i was at 21, with at least 10 comforters, two of which are down.
Yea...and every winter its 'we will get ducts completed to that room' blah. I'll be out of here by next winter, that's for sure. I have a house all picked out and it will be all MINE and i shall be stingy and selfish and finally have my own space!

Half-Korean doesn't mean I'm immune to the cold.
I feel like shutting myself in an oven, like the witch in Hansel and Gretel.
