I’ve legit seen Aussies going past swaddled up at only 15 degrees. That’s not even cold yet, lad.

Depends how windy it is.

I had an ex from the Nordics tell me they felt so much colder in Melbourne because of how bloody windy it was.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

yep I'm one of them, I run cold so 15 degrees is freezing to me

I've been to GP about it and wonder if it's to do with having bad circulation or small veins or something like this

As a Canadian, like how this only goes down to -20c, meanwhile we went below -40c in plenty of areas this winter.

I experienced -35 in Québec and it was crazy, could feel the inside of my nostrils/sinuses freezing up with every breath.

I was thinking the same about it only going up to 40C. It's forecast for 48C here tomorrow. To be fair that is unusually warm.

one of the most miserable times in my life was shitting in a port-a-john at fort hood on a june day when it was 117f. good luck man, hopefully you have AC.

I farm on the Canadian Prairies and I don't even own a set of long-johns. You can put me in the -30 square wearing a flannel shirt.

I am fucked when it gets over +25C though. I hate it so much.

I would take -40 over +40 on any day.
