How cold is cold?
QUOTE
Big_Al in this thread :
ok here is the deal. past few weeks its been really really cold(around -5 C).
I'm sorry, but -5 celcius really really cold? That's still shorts weather for me. I'll say really really cold if it's -15 with a wind-chill putting it near -40. (although I'd likely still wear shorts damnit!)

-5 C BAH!!!
@-15 C I find my car runs NICE! With the CAI. But anything lower than that and it doesn't like it. The car bitches at me and ratles and such.
Once again -5!!! BAH!
Panzy asses! lol
It's been atleast -18 C and it goes lower over night. With -28ish or so and then you factor in windchill and it's like -friggin 39!
-5 BAH! moon wink

I remember cold. Vaqguely. When I lived back east anything below -10 or -15 Celsius was cold.
Now I live in Lotus Land (a.k.a. Vancouver Island). This is the only place I've lived where the grass is green in winter and brown in summer
My winter tires are rain tires, not snow tires. Cold here is anything below + 10 Celsius tongue.gif

Ya'll are panzies.
Imagine sleeping on the open ground in just a sleeping bag at -49.
BLOW ME...
LOL
Gotta love the US Army. Nothing like having the vapor from your breath freeze on the inside of your sleeping bag.

Don't reckon I've ever been accused of being a panzy with regard to cold smile.gif Ya'll are panzies.

I wear shorts year-round. I own one pair of pants used only when investors come to my workplace and one pair for hiking (thorns ya know). I got married in shorts (actually custom cut-off tuxedo pants).
I own 2 pairs of sandles and 1 pair of hiking boots. nothing else. My wife has taken pictures the few times in my life i've worn socks.
I've had to shovel the driveway two days in a row, and will have to do so again in the morning (since it's snowed 6 inches in the last half hour, and no signs of letting up) and do so in shorts and sandles (although they are my winter sandles!).
I have a 12" fan that aims at my side of the bed that has been running continuously (except when we move from one place to another) since I bought it in 1998 when I fried the last fan. I also own a 24" window fan, and two 6" fans (for travelling) for the summer.
At work they call me the temperature nazi. Regularly accused of switching the AC on throughout the winter, and having it set to 16C during the summer.
When I used to go on winter weekend training for search and rescue I indeed did experience my breath vapor freezing on the inside of my blanket roll. Although I doubt it ever reached -49, we're not that lucky smile.gif
