I remember a two week period of -40 to -60 with wind, snow, ice, all of that. Then one day the sun came out, not a cloud in the sky and I needed to fetch my scheduling binder from my work truck, so I ran out to get it and hopped through the show to the parking lot of my apartment wearing shorts, no shoes, no shirt, no gloves. It was nice and warm outside and it made me curious, so when I got back inside I turned on the Weather Channel to check the current temp, ..... 25 degrees. lol Yeah, nice warm day with everything going for it, .... except snow melt.
Where is this -40° ?I thought you mentioned 30° being brr!. Recently where I live we had a week of -6 to- 10 every night. Tried to help a stray cat outside that no one could catch, and built a warm shelter for it ,insulated and with straw stuffed all up inside it . Feel bad for the animals in during these bad cold spells...
I ended up in Arizona about 20 years ago and become sissified to the cold where 30 degrees now feels chilly. But I can still take the cold far better than any locals.
I understand that! My brothers in LA have become "sissified" after having grown up in the East and now living out their. 60° is jacket time for them lol
There is a picture of me somewhere in Tacoma, in the winter, in a coat and shorts. I was 5 and there was 16 inches of snow on the ground. This never really changed. The weird part is that I went to Iowa, from Los Angeles and was re-introduced to my inner polar bear. In Iowa I still wore T-shirts and shorts two thirds of the year. In Iowa some thought I must be nuts wearing shorts, but I always checked the weather channel in the morning, .... oooh it going to get up to 65 today, totally shorts weather. "But, but, but, it's only 27 degrees right now" they would say. Yeah, but it IS going to get to 65, so SHORTS !! In Arizona it is all year round, even on the coldest days. For me 30 degrees only feels chilly, ... if the wind is blowing, but I have definitely noticed that I have become way more sissified to the cold in the 20 years since I have been gone from Iowa.
Coldest day of the year this morning in the Sacramento area at 30°. C Buuuuurrrrr! Where's my mama?
That's nothing ..lol
Indeed, nothing.

This was in central Iowa about 30 years ago.
