It's Damn Cold!!........

.............and i love it!!!!!:D

I don't know why people think its weird to love the cold and hate the heat. Nothing gets on my nerves more than the heat. That hot, humid, sticky ball sack, summer weather we had a few months ago really got to me. I thought it would never end. I heard this winter will be the coldest we've had in a while and there should be alot more heavy snow this year too. Looking forward to that.

Oh and as long as the pipes don't freeze again i'll be happy. There's always a downside to nice weather.

The weather this Summer was perfect. Some hot days, some warm days and also some calm breezy days. What's not to like about that.

Hope it's repeated next Summer.

I do love dry chilly winter mornings too however.

KeithM89_old

Definitely prefer the cold to the heat - more ways to warm up then to cool down - especially at work

Don't I know it. My boiler is banjaxed, it was spewing out black smoke. I've been lighting fires since last week, but can't turn on the central heating and can't afford to get in repaired until Friday. My feet are continuously numb. Today is particularly cold, I can see my breath indoors all the time.

I love cold weather! Getting all bundled up in cute hats and scarves.

And right now I'm wearing a hoodie with the hood up in bed under 2 blankets

seanbmc

Love the calm, cold and crisp mornings where you can see your breath . The only thing I hate is the wind

Zombienosh

no wind/rain = all good

krudler

Love the cold as well, cant stand our summers, or what passes for summer, humid, sticky, sh1tty weather. Once you can start seeing your breath and the leaves are all off the trees is my favourite time of year.

Princess Peach

I just wish we got the good kind of snow. I love snow.

Feel your pain, man.
Last Jan 6th (Burnt into the memory!) we had no heating due to a banjaxed boiler for 4 days. At minus 12 and under! I basically had to wrap myself in quilts the whole time.

alwaysadub

I'm bloody freezing tonight . And after being without water for over 2 weeks in the last cold spell,i don't want it to get too cold this time round!

Twee.

I love winter Hats, scarves, mittens, boots! And I'm too pale and a bit ginger for all those summer colours, yuck.

My bed is so toasty. Single bed with double duvet. Aw yeah.

Dudess

Extremes of either are unpleasant, but if I had to choose an extreme, I'd pick cold as it's generally easier (once the heating doesn't break down) to get warm than it is to cool down.

Prefer moderate heat to cold overall though, even though I love sharp, crisp, fresh cold like this - perfect for Christmas.

KeithM89_old

As long as theres no ice, i'm happy - dont want to end up like that guy on the news last year

PARKHEAD67

Move to bloody Greenland the lot of yee.Unpopulated and freezing.Perfect.

FYP . Ugh, that was a really bad time for it to go! Did you at least have electric blankets? Mine is my saviour at the moment. I'm wearing a tshirt, hoody, trackies and a dressing gown, woolly slipper boots (sexy, I know!) while covered in a blanket beside the fire and my toes are still kind of numb. I've drank about 9 litres of tea today trying to warm up.

I love hot weather. I lived in Cyprus, 35 degrees average during the summer, went to the beach everyday. Bliss. I even prefered the humid summers in NY to the winters. I just hate being cold.

Asphyxia

I love waking up to the sunny, crisp, fresh mornings in Winter As long as there isn't any rain or too windy I wont be complaining I was thinking of starting walking nice and early with my dog before the hard icy Winter weather sets in.

candy-gal1

Once it doesnt snow while im in a **** area then the cold is fine!
Tis freezing tonight, but tis great to be inside watching dvds all cosy, i take pity on the homeless on nights like this

Sorry about the gender mishap. I meant man as in member of mankind, of course!

Nope, didn't have electric blankets. Borrowed some bar heaters. I found plenty of layers is good, but I wore a baseball hat indoors (heat leaves through the extremities) and sometimes gloves too. Didn't drink tea (too much caffeine) but lots of boiling water with lemon and herbal teas. The odd whiskey didn't hurt either!

Get yourself out to heated environments during the day, be it work, library, pub, wherever, and you'll be grand.

I've been abroad in shocking heat before and that wasn't fun either. I'd rather be a little too cold than a little too hot, but minus 12 was taking the biscuit!

mojesius

By the way, did anyone else have a super ser growing up? They provided instant heat and you'd drift off into a nice gas-induced sleep after about 20 minutes after turning it on!

No worries:).

I like caffeine. And whiskey.

You're right, I'm going to spend as little time as possible at home this week. The problem with minus 12 in Ireland is the constant dampness in the air. Dry minus 12? Not so bad.

We have one on the go in our house! Brilliant (but deadly) for heating up a room super-fast.

Yeah, i used to sit on ours when i was a kid to keep warm!
Fcukin lethal though.

You people must live in crap houses because it's not cold at all.

Daisy Steiner

My boiler and stove both gave up the ghost in the last month. It's bitterly cold in the house. Was driving around tonight and while it was a beautifully cold, crisp evening, the roads were dodgy as hell. Met the gritter several times.

My boiler gave up the ghost about 3 weeks ago, just after I paid 250 euro to fix the water pump. The new one arrived on Sat pm but won't be installed until tomorrow. When they were taking the old one out they flooded my kitchen and sitting-room

Gah, I had no heating for 8 days last January. Water pipes froze, not nice!

Just bought a superser on Friday €99 at Power city.

No there are no lethal fumes. But ver very cosy. Instant heat.

Last year my heating bill was €70 a week for using it only 3 hours a day.

The superser lasts for 2 weeks @ $28.50 per bottle of gas.

Its magic in the morning.

x in the city

took rubbish out in cork and my car is frozen as fluck....

*nips under the sheets and maxes up the heater

PanchoVilla

The joints on my right hand are all swelling up, my left shoulder socket is like fire, and my right hip socket feels like someone is jabbing it with an ice pick. I love cold weather too. :mad:

Yeah, I grew up in the desert so my body doesn't do well in cold, damp weather. And I'm only 30.

Micky Dolenz

It ain't that cold.

johnmcdnl

My house is heated from the range in the kitchen basically - last year the pipes froze so we couldn't light the fire so my house was as warm as a badly built igloo last winter.. -12 weather and no heating at all in the house for almost 2 weeks... as well as no water to rub it in... ice on the inside walls of the house in some spots :mad::mad:
tip for anyone - don't live in an old house that was built before insulation was invented

may anyone try to wish for another cold winter :mad::mad:

VERY cold in Limerick right now, piling coal on the fire all the time!

Jaysus you'd wanna come to my house-it's fcukin freezing. Car's frozen solid.



Thank fcuk for electric blankets, it's the only thing that'll keep me warm tonight.

It wasn't me!

It's more annoyingly wet and soggy than cold. Clean, dry, windy cold? Yeah, perfect, absolutely love it and will be out shooting all day every day as soon as my work and the minging weather dry up, but this stuff kills me. Always makes me sick and feels much worse than it is, so plenty of misery.

Lousy Smarch Weather!

i also love the cold weather but unfortunately i drive a motorbike so when it happens and it will happen, the roads freeze over i have to then get the stinkin luas to work. and i hate the luas! :mad:

It's so cold today that Brian Cowen was actually spotted with his hands in his own pockets.

Ush1

Working on my car Saturday. Lying on the concrete with no sunlight was cold. Then my hands were covered in petrol and cold water and were starting to seize up, was good fun.

Wibbs

I can't abide the cold. Well not the soggy damp cold we get here. I do like we get seasons and varied weather. I'd hate the "oh its hot again today" all year round, but I could really do without the damp here. It also makes it feel a lot colder than it is.

seanbmc

Nice crisp day today

Kimono-Girl

i love the cold, when its not raining or windy,there is nothing i love more than walking through the streets of the city all cosy in your scarf, hat, gloves and jacket on a cold morning!

up for anything

I'm not cold any more, I am all warm inside as the postman kindly delivered a letter from the Spanish lottery telling me that I have won yet again. This is the fifth time. I am debating sending them my bank details. Once they take a look at my account they could feel so sorry for me that they will chuck in a few quid. Hope = inner central heating.

pickarooney

It was bizarrely warm at the weekend - sitting in t-shirts by the barbecue slurping rosé and scoffing pata negra. I almost wished I was back in the freezing cold drizzle of home.

NOT

Update: Dad's friend just took a look at the boiler, it's dead. 480 euro to get a new one next week. It's going to be a lean, lean Christmas.

On a happy note, got a loan of a super ser. The fumes are making me a bit happier.
