There's a steady cold, dry breeze blowing that makes your eyes water and your nose runs when you're out walking. Any exposed skin starts losing sensation. I couldn't even grab things in my pockets after a few minutes of walking outside. And I'm down south, I wonder if it's worse up in Seoul?

SOMEONE will post "It is perfect weather. Korea is always perfect. There's a warm breeze coming from the ocean, where I live."

I went for a walk around 7am. I wore gloves. My head is shaved. I had to regularly feel my ears, to keep them alive.

I went out to buy my weekly pizza later on, but I'm staying indoors for the rest of the day.

It's nice and warm at home.

I like the bitter cold as well. Reminds me of home. Spent the afternoon snowboarding and constantly wiping nose drips off with the handy pads on my gloves. A friend who's from Florida has a slightly lower opinion of the weather.

worst thing about this weather is that the koreans seem to use heating, as well as air con, to extremes...so its -5 outside but 30 degrees inside... Evil or Very Mad

The uni gym was closed for some reason today, so I worked out outside doing chin ups and bench jumps and stuff like that. Wearing shorts. Shorts!

Our Uni is on the top of a big hill and the wind was whipping my legs. Oh man, jogging home, I literally could not feel my legs, and this after sprinting up and down some hills. The temps was -2 celcius, but God know what it was with the wind chill. I was hoping to get a better work out, but after my third set of chin-ups I just couldn't take it.

Brrrrr.... Yes, it's a wee bit chilly. You can really feel it more near your outter walls. It's double and triple later clothing weather, even indoors I'm wearing double layers. Pretty cool how lots of people were playing on a frozen river today and there was an ice boat spinning and zipping around that works like a hover craft giving tours. Tried to get a ride, by didn't get how to pay and do it. I think it was a prepaid tour special as a tour bus brought people here to ride the ice and then skate around sitting down on little seats that work like ice skates or sleds. This is a really wide shallow stretch of the river where you got a lot of surface area like you would on a lake. Seen an old old man who could ice skate really well. It was so cold walking around out there.

sunny and +11 C in my small Korean town today - almost took my jacket off on my walk

(where it snows once every six years I hear, not at all since 2006 for sure)
