Went out to get groceries just a few minutes ago, and checked
the outside thermometer. Read -10 degrees F, or for you
Canadians: -23 C

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.

It was absolutely frigid in Phoenix today. I had to bundle up in a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, it was so cold I left my feet bare, even!

Its been pretty cold in the last few weeks in SF, but not as cold as other areas. About 50-60 degrees in the day and 30-40 at night (Fahrenheit), but its starting to get warmer.. I hope.

It was ~4F the other day here in Buffalo and I was running in and out of my workplace in a tshirt and jeans.
Good way to catch pneumonia.

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!

I'm soft, I admit it. 19 degree temptatures send me fleeing in unrestricted panic.

Good god! You'd die in Phoenix. 40+ centigrade from May 'til October. And I've seen it as hot as 50 degrees centigrade here.

It's about 40 degrees Fahrenheit right now in Athens. That's plenty cold for me.

Poor baby, Shep
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.

Your getting hammered by the cold system that got us just a few days ago. Your weather should take an upswing in a few days.
FYI, -40C=-40F

After a December of 50-60 degree highs, the temperature if finally dropping to below freezing where I live. I welcome it, but I wish it didn't make the basement so cold.

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)
