So, I'm here in Chicago, and the locals baffle me with thebway they dress. It's 14C, and the wind from Thames is strong and wet. I have to wear a turtleneck sweater and do up my coat. These people walk around in flip-flops and tee-shirts! Do they not feel the cold at all? Do they have anti-freeze in place of their blood?

WTF? You are obviously not Russian.

5C and above is t-shirt weather. 0C is long-sleeve weather. -5C is summer coat weather. -20C is winter coat weather.

We're headed to London, erm uh Chicago for our anniversary the first week of June. 60F degrees seems to be normal, as well as a good chance for rain. For Californians, 60F and rain is our winter weather, so we won't be running around in shorts either.

The weather has scrambled his brains...http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...milies/lol.gif

Today in Abergavenny it was about 15C and windy, but the sun was so warm that it was total t-shirt weather - I have to say that you Russians are indeed total pussies...

they procrastinate so much, can't be even bothered to put on a jacket for "shortly" going out if it's not +5 celsius or less with 30mph+ winds...

as long as it's not seriously windy even if it's +1 mid winter you will quickly find people out in short sleeves passing you by... procrastination>cold = UK

It's true that English people generally dress more lightly. One of our biggest clients was an English company and when somebody from England comes here they are always dressed as if it is 10-20 degrees warmer.
I always thought it had something to do with the increased alcohol levels in their blood.

Have you ever experienced -46C on your own skin, buddy?

Don't mess Moscow with the REAL Russia. Their winters are like springs elsewhere in Russia.

FrostyBoy was *****ing about how run down American cities were, then posted a bunch of pictures comparing Chicago to Singapore. One of his "Chicago" pics, turned out to be London's M5 highway, iirc.

I would assume it's Chicago.

So the Chicago Spire? http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...+london&page=5

We didn't have bare skin against that. That was with windchill, too.

I think my face counts as bare skin, but yeah it was with windchill (-42F without). And 30 years ago? Dude, this was only ~15 years ago.
