It’s never too cold for the beach. The only thing that should hold you back from a day at the beach is dangerous surf.

Load up the picnic and head to the sea. The ocean will clear up those drearies in no time.

Real Aussies wouldn't be caught dead with a can of Fosters. Ghastly stuff, absolute garbage and a headache in a can.

Love living in the tropics, short pants 365 days of the year.

When I lived in the US, I loved about the first 2 weeks of the new snow, then hated it for the rest of the season.

Depends which part of the country you're in. VB (Victoria Bitter) is one that springs to mine and they like it 0.000001 degrees above freezing, otherwise it's considered 'warm'.

This a few days was only -33

AK797 · 6 January 2018, 04:17 AM

I would rather be slightly cold than hot so the UK does suit me. I hate sweating and humidity and sticking to everything, but as I get older I am increasingly not a fan of the cold, esp biting winds, and I even asked for some ear muffs for Xmas as Dec was so cold, only ones left were some leopardskin ones but I didn't care. When I was a teenager I used to go out at night in just a shirt, no jacket, and it was much colder in the 90s before the ozone and greenhouse etc.

junamuan · 6 January 2018, 04:24 AM

UK and Vancouver BC have the same winter - dark gloomy and wet.
Looking forward to spring.

Art 1 · 6 January 2018, 04:42 AM

I thrive in the Florida heat and humidity, no problem at all, love it, its what I know. I also tolerate the cold Ontario weather very well, the proper clothing help a lot, very light weight too. Earlier in the week it was below 0F in Canada, today we woke up to 32F in Florida, I would rather have the 0F. Florida cold is nasty. Might not make sense to anyone who has never lived it. But Florida cold is nasty, I hate it.

SearChart · 6 January 2018, 09:18 AM

We currently have a lot more rain than usual, but generally for me autumn/winter > summer.

I was outside for 2 minutes with the dog the other night and when I came inside it felt like I had been out for an hour.

My wife was born and raised in southern italy, so the winters here are harsh, but for her, after 11 years she is still in the novelty stage, myself born and raised here keeps telling her when the kids are old enough, I am outa here for 4 months of the year, it is tough. But she loves it even more because being a woman, who loves fashion says, the winter is "fun" because of the new wardrobe for the winter season, great jackets, coats, boots, hats etc!!

This is too funny. My wife is exactly the same ... she loves winter fashion and claims it's the best time of year for her wardrobe.

Having spent way too much time at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, I much prefer Texas weather.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO SHOVEL HUMIDITY.

cjohns · 6 January 2018, 11:46 AM

The temp on Monday will be 45F warmer !!! And yet it still will not be above 32F !

RW16610 · 6 January 2018, 11:53 AM

Still beats snow in my books though!

It's extremely difficult, no doubt! Skin exposed for just a few minutes won't end well. I can only imagine how many cases of that occur since it doesn't typically get this cold around here (in comparison to other parts of Canada anyway).

singe89 · 7 January 2018, 04:54 AM

I can’t do cold, can’t do humidity and after going to college in AZ I can’t do scorching hot summers so one bubble of coastal SoCal is what suits me best. Probably why I’ve lived within 10 miles of the hospital I was born in my whole life (minus college). Love traveling around the world but south OC will always be home.

I’m in Hawaii with the family and the winters here are pretty perfect too.
