It was 73 earlier this morning and I was chilled (FL is usually 80's 90's) So I put on a thick sweater. Sure it warmed up to 82 (which is nice) but that little nip of 73 no thanks! I HATE Winter! I also hate cold shower water I usually have the water on hot to where my skin is red.
In that weather, Id still be wearing shorts and a shirt. It is warm compared to how cold it could get up here in Alberta. In the winter, it could get as cold as -50 C with the windchill...So cold, that after a few seconds, one cannot feel their nose.
Ya waiting at a bus stop in -50c, or having a bbq nothing can be more canadian then that, its weird we may b***h about the cold weather but its really not as bad as it sounds, I grew up in northern Alberta and would go ice fishing with my family, the temp on some mornings was in the -60c range, I never once gotten frostbite
The only thing that I don't like about the cold is when it gets cold enough that I have to go outside and plug my vehicle in because it is so cold it won't start. I never tried waiting for a bus since I drive, but it does get annoying when the truck won't start and I have to plug it in and wait. Also scraping ice and snow off the windshield when it is snowing and blowing isn't that fun either. Driving on icy roads is not fun either.....especially the road between Wetaskiwan and Camrose in Whiteout conditions. The cold does not bother me as much as what will the roads be like today?
