Thread: There is a Reason I Live in the South!!!

Here in Toronto right now we have he coldest day of the year, -25 to -35 with the wind chill, but I don't mind as we have a clear blue sky and a good sun - even for me though, as I'm generally immune to the cold, find it bone biting cold, step outside and it hits you immediately, takes your breath away.

It is so dry, I figured out why I have been having some trouble lathering lately, I looked at my brushes, and they feel dessicated. So last three shaves I have been soaking them in water for about ten minutes prior, something I should be doing anyhow I figure, but never had to do before.

That's the thing so many people forget about cold winter days. They are often *beautiful* winter days. So if you can, bundle up, get out there, and enjoy it. I'd much rather be out there playing with my dog than sitting in a damn office!

San Diego is cold as well. Its 60 outside.

Yes those temps at the southern end of the province are unusual, more like what we do get at our end. I found that southern Ontario has high humidity and when you combine that with high or low temps makes it even worse. Luckily it is usually drier up here too. Could be worse, we could be enjoying wave after wave of Nor Easter storms sweeping the Eastern seaboard of North America. At least we haven't had continuous huge dumps of snow to deal with along with the cold. I feel bad for the Maritimers.

Yea, I remember how cold Diego can get. We used to tie up at the foot of Broadway when we visited. Hard to take for sure.

It started at about midnight with freezing rain. Now we have about 4 inches (about 10cm) of snow. And it is supposed to keep snowing until late tonight. For you Yanks, that's no big deal, but here in the south, we are shutdown.

No cold water shaving today!

You should have come visited me when I had six feet of snow in November! I had to crawl out my upper living room window to shovel my front door out so I could open it.

I'm not sure where you were going with this, at first you say global warming is hogwash, then you post this article, which is very clearly stating that global warming is real. Did you read the whole article? Here is the last paragraph...
