Well, I suppose once you have caught and slaughtered the family pig and dug the barbecue pit you are compelled to have that Luau!

... 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!

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!

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.....

Autumn just started today.

Nur die harten kommen in den garten which is german and means only the tough people are getting into the garden... actually there´s nothing particular in the garden, nor a special reason to get into it it´s just for the rhyme and for stating that one is really tough... :rolleyes: BBQ in snow is definitely done by tough people :-\

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.

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...

it's colder here. Every winter we have some days below -30 when children don't go to school. The colder winter you have, the more you love summer :)

In my 22 years, the most important thing I've learned is that women don't age past 29. It's one of the mysteries of the universe that scientists may never solve.

From 18 they double their birthdays, 2 19's, two 20's, etc until around 25, then they let in another year every few years until their mid-30's which last up to 20 years. After that it's 40,60 and then exact ages from around 80.

A top bloke I knew from Sweden once described their summers as "green winters". Anything below 25 degC hurts. :)
