/me shivers and laughs.

It is 50 degrees fahrenheit and I cannot wait for 100 degree days. So I wonder if you could post how the Canadians feel about warmer temperatures. Summer please come back, please!

very good Earl_Listbard :thumbup:

Most of my fellow Canadians love warm weather.  Me, I hate any heat. I likes my snow! Give me a blizzard any day!

I think my fellow Canadians (and anyone else for that matter) that like snow and cold are crazy.

+15-20C is right about where I like my temperature, but we don't get that until summer :|


EDIT: Not sure why that all ended up in a quote o.O

What the hell is an earflap? Like, a random flap of skin? I think I have one (it's hard to see, though). It looks elfy when I flip it out.

Its only starting to get really cold in Dublin. Its 7 C but with 7 kts windspeed and rain. Also I have the flu, only half a door and a draught coming from my window.

I don't like the cold. T-T If I ever went to visit some of my Canadian relatives, I'd want to try for slightly warmer months... well then again, winter would be a rare chance to see snow. But I could always just visit the mountains here for that... *get's lost in random thoughts*

Anyway, I'm glad it's almost summer here. :3 Enjoy your winter, you people on the other side of the world! :devil:

hehe... judging by the amount of hot chocolates i serve every weekend, especially after a snow fall, everyone enjoys a good romp in the snow...if you have kids and dog, it's even more fun. But it has to be the good snow, not the wet, slushy snow that toronto gets every winter. Slightly damp, easy to pack and yet won't soak through your snowsuit snow...

I actually do know of someone who hates winter. Refuses to go anywhere when the temperature drops below 15 c. Everytime he does go outside, he shivers and complains about how cold it is...and yet he won't move to a warmer city. Go figure.

I can sympathize with you moon. It usually snows either on my brthday (October 19), Halloween or some where in between. Well, not this year ....  I am stilll looking at grass!  >:( It is cold here but not the usual temperatures we see here in Alberta. I am beginning to wonder if I will be having a green Christmas instead of a white one. :(

WHERE'S MEH SNOW???!!!!!!!

Hopefully up there and not down here. Though we get ice not snow. It is just lovely driving in the ice. Once it took three hours just to drive five miles. Where are the one hundred degree days? I want August!!

Post by: Entevir on November 23, 2008, 09:51:54 pm
I want frostbite temperatures. Because it makes my walking that much easier since it becomes less walking and more ice skating wherever i go. When august comes around look for me in the freezer.

Quote from: Rinenud
You don't want frostbite. Nobody wants frostbite. Nobody sane anyway.

Agreed!

I have a friend who decided that it was only a five block walk home at 12:00am at night in -30 weather. He had no hat to cover his ears. The next day he was rushed to emergency because his ears hurt so much and the frostbite had turned the tip of his ears black. He now has that for life. He can't stand it when it is either hot or cold because his ears hurt either way. He will never be rid of that pain. He will also never be rid of the discoloration on the tip of his ears. Stupid fool.

You may find it fun, but frostbite would leave you stumped.

LMAO! Good one Rinenud!  ;D

Yeah! Winter is finally here in Alberta. Yesterdays temp (December 13) was -29. With a wind chill it was -36. Today it is -28 with a wind chill of -35. I stood outside for a whole of two minutes and I am still trying to warm up my hands an hour later. :P
