Apples2 19 Posted January 7, 2010 BRRRRrrrrrRRRR!!! Course, it might just be Ma Nature trying to balance out the Hot Air being generated in DC.... It would need to get quite a bit colder than -35 degrees windchill, Jack.:smile2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jachut 487 Posted January 7, 2010 Hehehe, my BIL and SIL just arrived home from 2 and a half years in Canada, home to sunny Melbourne. Its our long holidays right now, we spent the day with them yesterday at the beach, a balmy 30 degree day - oh, sorry, that's 30 degrees CELCIUS, up around 90 or so, glorious. We're all brown, healthy, and relaxed. Dont want to rub it in or anything. Coz it will be winter here mid year. When it gets down to oh, maybe 10 degrees celcius on a cold day! They loved Canada for many reasons but there was 2 things that did their heads in, the freezing climate and the lack of decent coffee. We've got enough of our own hot air of other varieties, so no change there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serenity55 15 Posted January 8, 2010 We're not doing too badly here in sunny southern California! I didn't wear a jacket to work today! I have a cousin who used to live in Chicago, and when I told her I'd love to spend some time in the winter with her, she said, "No you wouldn't." :thumbup: Debbie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jachut 487 Posted January 8, 2010 I know! This is thread hijacking, lol, but we were all romantic about a white Christmas too. The last day they were in Edmonton, jut before Christmas the only colder place on the planet was some town in Siberia, lol. whereas, on our victorian ski fields, you generally can ski in a tshirt. Once you're active, the 1 degree celcius temps dont require real snow gear. All the snow gear BIL and SIL bought here before they went was useless, they had to buy real stuff in Canada.

Apples2 19 Posted January 8, 2010 I prefer Hell over this any time!! When I attended Holy Rosary School at a very impressionable age, those nuns told me HELL was sizzling HOT. Now, TX in the summer would be hell to me. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btrieger 21 Posted January 8, 2010 We get about 30 days a year with a high over 100 F (38C) a year but the swimming pool is always refreshing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apples2 19 Posted January 8, 2010 Our summers are usually with at least that many days in the 90's with high humidity...land of 10,000 lakes. Just sent my donation for the "Polar Plunge" that will take place tomorrow. Sponsoring a nephew that will participate. Proceeds go to Special Olympics. No worries though...we are expecting a "Warm Front" to move in tomorrow. Temps over zero. Woohoo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
