I love summer in Australia as i can just go to the beach. i hate summer here in the concrete jungle(the countryside is Ok) as going to beach is something of a joke.

It depends on whether you're indoors or out. Yes, it can reach -20c up here in the highlands, and when it snows (and it will), there's no snow removal equipment to speak of. And unlike Canada, there is no bylaw requiring shopowners to remove the snow in front of their establishments. The result, after several cycles of freezing and melting, is virtually impassable sidewalks, resulting on people walking on the roads, which in turn results in more accidents. Now, indoors, there might be no central heating to speak of, so a large, oxygen-sucking gas heater might be placed in the center of the classroom, so that in immediate proximity to that heater it's 35c, and around the perimeter of the room it might be 10c, or even lower, because the windows are open, as the students, huddled in their coats, gasp for air. It's an adventure in maintaining one's health with the constant temperature extremes. Small wonder that most of the locals seem to be sick for much of the winter. Dress in layers, as they say, you may need to peel them off or put them back on, depending on how far you venture.

Hey again.

Thanks for all the help people.

While it was on my mind I heard a grab from a Billy Connelly routine,

"There's no such thing as bad weather just the wrong clothes".

Makes perfect sense to me now!

Cheers

The original poster; 18 is cold?!?! Heck, it gets below freezing in the winter. Most of korea will stay around the freezing temperature mark for a few months during the winter.

I am enjoying this cold rain we are having today. Took a short walk in it. Felt exciting, but with no umbrella went straight over to the dorm to be back home. The weather reports say it will turn cold tomorrow.

I walked in the cold rain today as well. Refreshing and crazy all at the same time. i was just wearing a T-shirt too so i could get over my hangover. Worked pretty well.

Today was freezing. left the house in a thin polar-fleece jacket. had to run back and get my long down coat. I think it's about -4/5 C. Coldest I've ever had to deal with, apart from when I went to the snow. But seeing the frozen puddles, and stuff, is pretty exciting. Bring on the snow.

It was freezing today. This is just a teaser for the next 3 months or so. When the wind gets up and adds to the wind chill and knock about another 10 off the temp and that will be the real thing.!!!!!
