I know right. Freaky pale-faced Europeans.

[Frierlovene]

Just remember that Mexicans migrate south when snow falls. It'll make you feel better.

[avodeinst]

Cold winter nights also enable some of my favourite little things in life. A nice fire in the fireplace, relaxing in a la-z-boy drinking a dram of fine scotch.

It's obvious what's going on. Asher thinks he's bad-ass or something because he likes cold weather.

The facts speak for themselves... cold temperatures like Asher describes absolutely will result in frost-bite and hypothermia if one is exposed to those temperatures without the benefit of warm clothing. On the other hand, hot temperatures in excess of 100F can and will result in heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

These are extreme temperatures which the human body is incapable of standing without the aide of technology. The range in between, however, is quite comfortable; any place with a temperature range between 40F and 95F is probably an ideal place for a normal human.

The fact is humans are not supposed to live in places with daytime temperatures below 0F.


I dare Asher to go outside right now in shorts and no shirt and spend several hours in those conditions.

Why would I go outside in shorts and no shirt? It's too cold for that.

I went for a 30 minute walk (from my gym to my car, which I park at work) and it was awesome. Clean, crisp, fresh mountain air...the smell of wood fireplaces going, the early dusk meaning stars alight in the sky... Yeah, it was cold enough to wear a toque, gloves, and a winter jacket but that's it. You can feel the cold on the exposed face, but I like the sensation so long as it's not hours at a time.

I'm not even joking/trolling. I love Winter, I hate Summer. I actually start getting clammy/sweaty at anything above ~72F. I'm weird like that, I know.

[Verriasana]

Well

In general, total mortality is about 15% higher on an average winter day than on an average summer day (National Center for Health Statistics, 1978).

Winter

If it is too cold, put on another sweather. If it is too warm... too bad.

[QQ9ktYrV]

While you may run out of layers of clothing to shed, that point is still pretty decent in the right company

[bestbyV]

I'd much rather have the cold weather than the scorching hot weather. Nice if you're on holiday but in terms of living and working it is utterly unbearable. I was working in Brazil a lot last year, up until Christmas...it was about 40C with 90%+ humidity. Horrible. It was nice to be back. At least it is possible to wrap up warm and be comfortable. Not easy in those conditions without sweating your entire body weight.

So cold for me Besides, I am not particularly sensitive to the cold either. You can take the man out of the North but you can't take the North out of the man.

I have a 20-25 minute walk to work and do that all though winter even when it's -40. Extreme cold is nicer than extreme heat, no matter how cold it is I can dress warm enough that I get hot on the walk to work. If it was really hot there is nothing I could do to get the same level of comfort.

[AssinHT]

Cold* is ok. Snow is for canadians.


*American definition, not canadian.

[Janarealiti]

You are perhaps the worst "Canadian" I've ever heard of.

[seawolferr]

I'm a Canadian who hates the cold. I can tolerate it because I've been conditioned to but I prefer summer in almost every case.

[rhiniddibiarmr]

They can be.

[seosoftseo]

I hate the cold. It's our cold month now and it sucks!

[stadiaKab]

When it's 15 degrees with 70% humidity and north winds at 30 MPH, it's cold.

[DoctorTentonyya]

15 F ?

That's about -10 C. You must be freezing in your cowboy boots.

[trilochana.nejman]

Spencer, I know you guys down South have had your first snowfall in like a century twice now but cold in Alabama is not cold at all. If it's not capable of giving you frostbite or hypothermia, it's not cold.

You are such a moron. Frostbite can happen if it is under 32 F, and I know Georgia isn't getting above that today (it's 25 right now) and definitely will drop to the teens at night. Alabama is experiencing similar weather.

I worked a delivery job in my younger years and one of my co-workers went year round in shorts.
