cold weather

How is everyone coping with the cold weather?

I myself don't mind it beem cold. The best about the cold is going to a cold bed and it warming up from you body heat.

Most people would find it cold. I don't myself. It is grand myself

Gerry91

It's hardly that cold yet tbh

I do like it myself but to an extent. I remember back in 09/10 it was unbearable in December on occasion!

Even this January had some freezing days!

Just got out of toasty hot shower and sitting beside the fire so all good and snug here

I like that I get to wear my new pretty coat and my new pretty hat

Dont mind the cold per se but it breaks my heart paying a fortune to heat the house.

theblaqueguy

I don't think its that cold yet
I just throw on my wooly jumper if I get too cold
Haven't had to turn on the heating
Or light a fire in the last few weeks

I don't mind it at all. Nothing better than stepping out of a bright, cold morning wrapped up in a good wool coat, with a light Cashmere scarf to finish the ensemble. Your breath cutting lines through the cold air as you brace yourself for a brisk walk.

In the evening a glass of Scotch to warm the cockles of your heart before retiring to your bedroom. All the better if you have a squeeze in the bed beside you to raise the temperature another few degrees.

I filled up the tank with oil but the burner wouldn't work and I still don't have the cash to front up for getting it fixed, coal fires going to have to do for now. Damn my lack of plumbing skills.

Much prefer the cold to the heat actually. Just as well really.

Miss Lockhart

Love the cold! But it's not really cold enough during the day yet. We've had a few chilly nights though.

What cold weather? Bleedin' Nora, we've only had 3 nights of light frost so far. Come back and ask when it actually gets cold!

It's my first Irish winter in like 20 years and after being used to the Mojave Desert in Southern California it's an adjustment to say the least. Today was one of those days where it felt warmer out than in.

NegativeCreep

My lips are really chapped because of it

Top tip from Viz magazine.

“Keep your hands warm in the cold weather by cutting the finger tips off a pair of wooly gloves. These can be used as little warm ‘hats’ for each of your fingers” (Viz 202, February 2011 p9)

crosstownk

It's been cooler recently but I wouldn't call it cold yet. That said I've the fire lighting but no heating on - it's not needed yet.

You rang m'lud :pac:


I'm going to have to be honest here, I'm not good with either extremes. I hid indoors during the unbearable (to me) sun we had this year; only venturing out at night for supplies. The flip side of that is I cannot hold any heat in me in cold weather - regardless of how many layers I put on.

Not complaining though ....... >_>



(Brrrrr..)

cailinardthair

I wouldn't find it cold yet but there's is a nip in the air that requires a warmer jacket....when the hat and gloves go on then its cold....but I do like the fire on and the hotwater bottle....Its all cosy....love this time of year! (expect the rain)

Yeh there's nothing wrong with not liking either and preferring a happy medium.

Few hours of heating is definitely needed in this weather to get rid of the cold feeling from the house. Putting on a jumper just doesn't cut it, sitting there in a cold room is uncomfortable.

Same, I hate extreme weather.

But I was fine with the summer we got this year though. Anything over that would be going into the extremes for me.

Something like 20-25° all year would be perfect Low humidity too.




Maybe a week or two of extremes to keep it interesting..

It's not cold, it's a lack of heat.

Yeah, but this is Ireland where cold, damp, overcast conditions are the winter norm.

At 4 this morning, the car temp read -1 and I had to use the scraper to get the ice off windscreen so I could drive to work...

Im in Australia on one of those working holiday visas. Its not even summer yet and some days are very hot. With a hot sweaty ass all day. Here you're wet with sweat. At home its wet with rain.

I miss the fresh air. Its too hot here. The wind on a hot day here is like a hair dryer in your face. I dont know what im at coming here. I think I might be better going home and getting a car to keep warm and dry while venturing outside.

You're not going to work - you went there for a good time and a holiday.

Amazing how folks say they're forced to emigrate and pick the furthest possible place to allegedly "find work", which also just happens to be sunny and have nice beaches. They care so much for seeing their family of course which is why they didn't pick anywhere in Britain. :rolleyes:

If it's -5*C on a frosty morning - I love it.

If it's +5*C with wind and rain pounding my beautiful face - I loathe it.
