Answer 14

oh thats not cold at all. its - 39Celcius -50C with the windchill. Its not bad if there is no wind. then the -30C weather is bareable but when thre is a windchill its not that bareable.. In -8 still wear what you would wear as a fall jacket if that.

But I live in central canada where it gets a wee bit cool in the winter

Answer 15

Ah well...that's what happens in February!

Answer 16

i just saw a brass monkey looking for a welder

Answer 17

No it isn't. Nowhere near as cold as a winter in the UK either should be or used to be.

Even in my lifetime I've seen snow on the ground from November to March, and not just on the mountains in Scotland. I was visiting my parents at the start of this month right up in the northwest of Scotland. It was sixteen degrees centigrade and I was outside with nothing more substantial than a cotton t-shirt and jeans on.

Not a hint of snow on any of the mountains you can see from there, not a hint of anything remotely white and snowy anywhere.

You can chuckle all you like about global warming; the net result of it for the UK will be to get colder. It'll be nice when it actually kicks in... I like skiing.

Answer 18

Oh yes.....it is very, very cold, so no wonder you were shivering!! x*x

Answer 19

I totally agree. The last three or four nights have been absolutely freezing and the temperature has dropped pretty sharply during the night.

Answer 20

Answer 21

It's very cold brrrr

Answer 22

its down to global warming

Answer 23

It is cold , but  cuddles cure that!

Answer 24

not really, it's been colder!

Answer 25

10 out of 10 for observation.  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, we are getting the opposite reaction right now.  It is so cold due to the easterly winds blowing from Russia and that coupled with the absence of clouds causes heat loss.

Answer 26

Blimey is it !!!!  

I live in Scotland so you'll get no sympathy from me....hmmm

might stick a hip flask in ma sporran though just in case  ; )

Answer 27

warm in day, cold at night
