Two winters ago in Maine, we had a good 3-4 week stretch where the temp never got over 20 F. Low temps were -10 to -15 with the wind chill. I don't mind cold, but when it just stays cold and you feel like you never get warm, that stinks.
I do remember living in San Jose and hearing a convestation about "how cold it is, it feels like winter" while I was sitting in shorts and a t-shirt because it was a sunny day and in the mid 50's! 😛

Out here in Southern California we are total weather wimps. Whenever we have a little rain the news stations suddenly go to "Storm Watch" and it makes the headlines. My friends and coworkers who have lived back east always laugh at that, we realy have no idea what bad weather is.
As for Asians using umbrellas in the snow, here they use them on hot sunny days to keep the sun off them.

Well, I'll throw in that this morning is grey. Blah...
One the plus side, the temp is about 40 F, so it'll be a sweatshirt (read: no layers) only day!😎

The entire northeast was really cold then. I was at school in Boston, and someone had the bright idea of pulling the fire alarm at 1AM one night. 3F, then figure in the 15mph wind...jayb2000 said:
I wore shorts the night before Thanksgiving 😀
My legs were cold 🙁
didn't even hit 20F here today. its piss weather out. like i said before, i could care less about the cold or the dry or dark days. i hate how people drive in snow and freezing rain. :: grumble grumble :: and downtown in a cargo van doing deliveries makes it worse.

I'd rather it be cold than hot - if you are cold you can crank up the thermostat or add clothing, but when it's hot and sticky there's no escape...ugh.

yeah, you could kick up the thermostat, except when you can't, because (as happened two years ago) the boiler in your dorm has died, the temperature is -5 F (before the windchill, which i guess didn't matter because we were all hunkered down inside) and your crappy dorm is built out of cinderblocks, with as far as I could tell, no insulation.
Last winter though, that was a mild one in upstate NY.

Well you live in Vancouver, that doesn't count 😛
You're lucky though, 41cm of snow last night here in Montreal. Cars outside my window are literally under snow from a combination of the snowplows going by, and the wind. It's pretty funny, about an hour ago I witnessed someone trying to dig their way to their car, and about half an hour ago I witnessed the same person giving up.
