    ... it is barely autumn here in the southern hemisphere and I am almost freezing with a 20ºC (68ºF) in Brazil. No kidding, I find astonishing that there are people facing negative or near 0ºC temperatures somewhere!

      Spring is supposedly here in England. We have more snow on the way, and apparently temperatures are due to drop to several degrees below zero over the weekend. This time last year, we were having BBQ's and sunbathing.

      I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

        I may put a bet on with William Hill on the chances of a White Easter. It is my Birthday on the 31st, and only once before in the last 46 years has it snowed on my birthday, and it looks like it will this year too. I want to be barbecuing, not tobogganing!

                Last Monday, it was -16,5 degrees (Celsius) when I went to work. The car did start, but sounded a bit funny. We are eagerly waiting for spring here (Sweden). This winter has been too long, cold and snowy!

                  It'd be just plain wrong to go inside and use the grill because it started raining, especially after all that effort.

                      I guess I would survive exactly ten minutes in -16,5 degrees. I have no idea how cold this would be.

                        It really is what you are used to. I grew up in a house without decent central heating and used to wake up with the condensation frozen into a sheet on the window and it didn't do me any harm. It took me several months to adjust to the heat when I moved to the Middle East and never really fully adjusted. The worst thing (and something the guidebooks don't mention) is the effect of going from a humid climate to an arid one has on your nose. My sinuses bang for at least a week when I go on holiday, the first time I went I ended up using saline spray. Conversely, the in-laws used to start putting on a roaring log fire when the outside temp got below ~20ºC, leaving the room too hot for me to stay in. Perhaps that was the idea :~ It backfired though, I'd simply wear a t-shirt and shorts, nobody wants to see my portly frame in those.....

                          It's just a matter of wearing the right clothes. BTW, this morning, it was just -7 degrees Centigrade. Felt like a heatwave... (No, not really).

                                        We too. But the coldest, this winter was -21 degrees. And the car started OK, without using electrical warmer! It was a bit slow to start, though...

                                          I spoke to my brother in Perth last weekend. Last Sunday, at 4 pm, it was too hot for a motocycle ride. 31 degrees centigrade. So he decided to wait a couple of hours. Autumn, anyone? -7 here this morning. I think we need the sun now! It's been a long, cold, snowy winter in Sweden.
