I guess the temperature is all a matter of perspective. It was minus 23 here this morning. Yesterday, it was warmer at only minus 19. A couple of weeks ago, it was quite cold, even for us, at minus 29. Guess what? I went out each day. LOL!!

Yes - it depends on the kind of cold - I have lived in -2O but dry cold - here it gets right into the bones - damp cold. Hope everyone are OK too.
That's what "they" say but having experienced the "dry cold" and the "damp cold", I can only say that once you hit minus anything, it's cold! Brrrrrr...Then it's just a matter of proper clothing. When those temperatures are accompanied by wind though, that's what makes a huge difference.
These temperatures are of course, celcius, NOT farenheit for those who are getting confused! :)
Ducky - you are right and yes Celsius - don't even mention the wind it has been horrendous here but the coldest it's been here is approx. -4degrees celsiu and that's cold too!!!
Ducky for me Spring or Autumn - cannot please me with too hot or too cold. Do you know once I remember being in a flat B&B or something and when we woke up the eggs in the fridge were frozen - never seen the likes of it before.
Maybe that was it Ducky - but boy was it cold I was in bed with all the clothes on and the coat on the bed. You wouldn't know this guy I guess Billy Connelly a Scots guy made a joke about the coat on the bed once.:)
I think we must have much better heating systems, as that would never be the case here, no matter how cold it got.
Ducky this was years ago I'm talking more than 40years ago in Scarborough the East Coast of Britain approx half way up - I live in London, UK. I too do not know where anyone lives either. Hey good that you went out everyday even to the car is enough.
@poppy...I don't know him and ROMOS posted a video but I have trouble understanding the accent. He talks too fast for me. :)
I'm Canadian. Probably my grandparents had houses that were cold and draughty like that. In fact, I think that I CAN remember staying at their house and having a ton of blankets on me. That's probably the reason. :)
@ ROMOS...Well, you would have to slow down to, let's say, a southern drawl, for me to be able to understand you. :)
Ducky - Wow I was in Toronto once in an Air Conditioned hotel, my friends working at the kids hospital in a place without air conditioning - had to sleep without covering of any sort. When we left the hotel - one block and I was sweating the humidity was so great. Lovely country and people from what I see.
@poppy...Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto...very well known. There wouldn't be many hotels these days, without A/C. We have a variety of weather...very cold in winter...very hot in summer (for us). I'm like you though...I don't really like the extremes and fall is probably my favorite season...beautiful colors and a bit cooler.
ROMOS - come on the Scots accent is difficult to understand - my friends couldn't understand my Dad and when he recoved from a coma years ago the nurses just loved listening to him but I am not sure they understood a word. My uncle although a Scot spoke much clearer. You will also be clearer as you come from Edinburgh - my Dad was born in linlithgow also should have spoken clearer I guess. Billy Connelly married to that lovely psychologist Pamela Stephenson - mentions the coat in "An Audience With Billy Connelly - thanks for the connection.
I have had contact over the years, with two Scottish women, both of whom I could understand, MOST of the time. Each one said, though, that they had to slow their speech, in order for Canadians to understand them. After a few years of living here, it was automatic, until they got together with other Scots.
Ducky - yes this is common with most nationalities their accents revert back when they meet the people who come from where they come from. People also pick up the intonation of a language quite often when abroad for a period of time some even sound like they come from that place over time.
I do that myself, when I am around people from southern U.S for any length of time. The Canadians say, "You sound just like them" and the Americans say, "You don't have much of a Canadian accent at all". Of course, I get a kick out of "playing" with people, 'cause that's what I do best. LOL!
Poppy, I'm not from Edinburgh, I'm from Kirkcaldy in the Kingdom of Fife.
Can you pronounce Kirkcaldy?
Can you pronounce Kirkcaldy?
ROMOS - sorry hope this was not offensive - of course I can pronounce Kirkcaldy but maybe not as you do. Do not know why I thought you were from Edinburgh - I will now have to get the maps out. Geography a no no for me.
Not far from me Pops, across the Forth a 2.5 mile swim, never done it though, they need the two bridges to get into Fife from Edinburgh, and they're even going to build another one.
ROMOS and Ducky - Do you know there was a progam on TV last night about the Giant Otters of the Amazon. Wonder if they understand each other and speak Ottish.

Oh, i feel for the people in the cold trapped in their homes without heat or electricity. I’ve been watching it way too much. Someone said “it can only get better” Sooo true. Actually, I think today is better. I’m not going to go near that tv today.
