the outside thermometer. Read -10 degrees F, or for you

Dude, I was playing outdoor ice hockey today in 0°F weather. I spent 2 hours on the ice plus another 10 minutes getting my skates on & off. After playing for about an hour I had my jacket unzipped, it was actually pretty nice out. The thing that really makes it cold is wind, I was in Ottawa once when it dropped to almost -40 with 50mph winds, windchill was well under -60, that was fucking cold.

I envy you guys - here in Brisbane its been 30+C 24 hours a day for weeks. All the pools are piss-warm... we're backward so we don't have hardcore aircon like you guys... and the biggest problem with the heat: you can always put more clothes/blankets/knitted mittens on, but there comes a point where there's nothing more to take off!

We had to deal with -20 weather for five days. It wouldn't get above -5 in the day and it would get to as low as -32 at night. That was right fun too. I love the cold and snow.

I know people that have to put in just as long while working on a mountain. Ah, I feel sorry for those lift opperators on the ski hills. Although the temps took a massive upswing. It was 29 today.

According to weather.com, it's supposed to be almost 60 F (high temps) here in Atlanta for the next couple days. (looks around at angry cold people and flees)
