Isn't winter amazing.

[EnR]

I just walked to my bus stop, which is about 3/4 of a km, waited there for 5-8 minutes then walked back. That's a total of 25 minutes outside.


Did I mention it's -40 degree's celcius.

I was wearing a longsleeve with my school shirt over top + a sweater and + a massive winter coat, pyjama's under my school pants and two pairs of socks.

Nothing helped, I can't feel my legs, hands, face, and arms.

Yep they just announced on the radio -40 with wind chill.

With that much clothing you should be warm, that's bs.

It's about -35 with the windchill here on the South Shore in Quebec, and I walked out with jeans, 1 pair of socks, my pumas, 1 shirt, 2 sweaters..and some gloves cause my car steering wheel is frozen..it's not THAT bad out body wise.. Now, the wind burning the face and fingers ok nothing can be done :P

In Paris i wore: Thermal pants, thermal t-shirt, woolly socks, Jeans, a t-shirt, a jumper, a fleece (with a hood on, which i had up), and a jacket and that only just kept me warm enough to be outside for about 2 hours. Oh and a Scalf and Gloves.

But you Canadians should be used to this weather!

And I thought my walk across town in 17 degree [-8.333...c] weather just no sucked >_>;
In cargo pants t-shirt, 2 hoodies.

Well not every Canadian is winter resistant, there are lots of babies and softies :P
I'm pretty good when it comes to the cold, I don't get bothered unless it's -40 for a long period of time, which is almost never unless it's snowing like hell out then I'll complain..getting in and out of cars or crossing streets or whatever, not a problem.

I've never seen snow :]

Lucky you, paradise every day, damn man!

Also, I don't ever wear a coat in any point during the winter unless it's incredibly the worst ever peak cold/snowfall of the winter then I might consider it, or just do nothing that day and let it blow by :P


Edit: CTV news reported it's -36 right now with the wind chill and it's slowly dropping

[4manlovespie]

Yes in fact it is.

lol ... Winter resistant.

Well if you can handle - 40 then your not a softy. I can barely handle England when its 1 degree + making me extremely soft.

Lucky you! I am visiting OZ in July and i bet even then its still warm! I am going to Sydney, Cairns ... basically doing this http://www.qantasholidays.co.uk/holi...uctid_e_149862

[Sgtzombie.]

I'd rather be too cold than too hot. I hate sweating. So, England is pretty much the right place for me.. would prefer Scotland, though..
Plus, with it being winter, I have an excuse to wear my skullcandies out of doors, and make all the little weird, "omg i think WoW is so awesome 'cause ozzy osbourne promotes it" bus kids jealous.

Well you just went to your car, try walking against the wind for 7-8 minutes at a decent speed (so I don't get late) stand in the cold for 8-9 minutes then walk back.

When I got home, my coat was cracking on it's on, like making cracking sounds and my sweater had frost on it (it wasen't even damp or anything).

[DossarLX ODI]

lmao it really sucks when you walk to the bus stop without knowing there's a delay that day so you wait outside for 20 minutes, no bus comes, you walk back home frozen.

[bluguerrilla]

Psh, wind chill is a load of crap.

It's 3 F (-16 C) here and not windy, making it really bearable. Supposed to be -7 F (-22 C) and windy tomorrow though...

[25thhour]

I live in northern BC we had a 3 wekk long cold spell of -40 below without the wind.
Now Its really warm...
But the windchill here usually gets into the -50s (celsius btw0

Oh ****! Sounds like old man winter is nipping at you personally ha ha ha! Well I don't know, I used to play ball hockey in jogging pants running shoes shirt/sweater pair of crappy gloves and a hat all winter every Saturday and yeah it got bad when it was -30 but only because if I under dress I'll be freezing and sweating and if I overdress it'll be hard to play and over sweat :P


Edit: Wind chill makes everything worse though, if it's just -30 to -40 without much wind, that's nothing though. Just the wind is impossible to avoid, especially the Montreal residents walking in the city, the wind picks up like crazy and it's horrible down there

[25thhour]

I only wear hoodies. Almost everyday so when it's this cold I feel it. Lol.

[-Fallen-]

Yeah I wonder why we do that here in Canada. It's cold as f*ck, and we walk out in running shoes and a sweater like it's fall or something.

[25thhour]

I'm used to it. I have been in worse.
But I love the -40 temperatures except when I have to walk to school.
