Actually, it would have been January this year when I got snow. Just remembered we're still in 2009

Sorry can't remember - 1997 was my last winter in Europe . have been in Australia ever since. And I only remember the date cos I got M A R R I E D!!!! (would have been out for self defence already).

I hate the cold. I really really do. And the winters here in Queensland are terrible as it goes down to 10 degrees Celcius (that's 50 F) or sometimes even 5 C (41 F). Outrageous. Thank god I got my tracky dags and the dunna

After 5 years in this harsh climate I have even taken to wear my winter coat and gloves in the morning.

It's okay. We've all got ugg boots for when those Antarctic conditions strike.

Cheers,

Lots of room in Wisconsin. And snow. Always with the snow, this place.

Moejoe · 11-26-2009, 09:10 AM

I don't know how anybody copes in hot countires. I mean, what about scarfes and thick wooly jumpers and warming your feet up in front of a fire and shivering...you can't beat a good shiver now and again. And how about getting hit in the face with a cold snap of wind. Autumn and Winter rule!!!

I'd love to live somewhere like that (as long as what happens in Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men is anywhere near the truth. That was Wisconsin, right?)

well, it's not so much that i love shivering, but i agree, i couldn't live in a too-hot country. when you're cold, you can put on an extra pair of socks, a hat, mittens, turn up the heater, make some tea... when you're too hot, after you've taken off all your clothes, if you're still hot, you really don't have any options. you just have to suffer until it finally stops being so hot. i really don't like it when it's too hot.

a nice reasonably warm day though, say around 25°C, that's perfect in summertime. i love that.
