We're now moving into inbetween weather territory where it can be too 'warm' for a coat but too cold not to have a coat. So when you put the coat on, you get too sweaty and warm so you take it off but then you're kind of cold and the sweat evaporating just makes you colder but then you don't want to put the jacket back on because you know you'll get too warm again so you just break down and cry.

Nah, still way too cold to go coatless. We're still sub ten degrees every day, I wouldn't shed my coat until it gets to 14 degrees or above personally.

I was wearing shorts one day last week. Granted I was about the house, but hey, shorts.

I dunno, I live where it's flip-flop and Tshirt weather all year long. Was sunny and 20 during the day today. Though, I will be over in Dublin and Galway next week, so hoping I will bring some sun along with me

I've been in Canada all winter going around in a tshirt and jeans while the locals looked at me like I'm an eejit... Its lovely here, I think Ireland got confused with that country its supposed to be !

What part of Canada? I thought it was freezing there

Ye wouldn't be long getting frost bit

Canadaka is fine they have a warmer type of dry cold, this is humid cold, even the Siberians can't stand this windy Atlantic damp cold.

Solution 1: Just wear lots of Heatrub™ toasty, with a bit of a slight minty smell.

Solution 2: Install a mile high curve walled mirror* - all along the edge of North Antrim coast tilted inward about 15o.
So the low sun will be double-dosed, be it a hot wan like Jamaica man, all Februrary for real, get me?

* Norway did this once, to enlighten a darken wolverine Valley (smaller scale of course).

west coast, its a totally different kind of cold, not as damp (usually) but the locals think its bitter cold, they'd not last in Ireland!

Rosie Rant · 08-02-2015 10:58AM

Didn't wear a hat, scarf or coat going into town yesterday and I was only a little bit chilly. I hope the sunny weather comes soon. I'd rather be too hot than too cold!

Definitely. As nice as standing in front of the fire naked is the warmth goes almost instantly as soon as you leave the room whereas if it's a really hot day and you use a fan or take a cold shower you still feel chilled for a while.

Love the cold weather, gimme a bout of snow any day!

ah but in the cold you can continue layering clothes/jackets in the heat you can only take off so much...

Big difference between BC and Saskatchewan tho! Was -50 for two days straight here start of Jan. I.e you would have literally frozen to death in a t-shirt

Your perception of Canada is just funny. Granted some parts are like what you describe a lot more are not I assure you. And I've spent time everywhere from east to west coast over last 16 yeards so know from experience.

True enough slight jest implied, have felt both the chilly 'eternal winds' of St.Johns and winter of Toronto.

As a general rule though, it's a dampish aul windie coul here.
A warmer cold would still be better than this coldish-cold, cold.

When the Bumble Bees are buzzing around in their cool black and yellow fur coats.

Graces7 · 09-02-2015 10:19AM

weary of the cold... water buckets frozen, gas pipes frozen and weary of it all now, and cannot afford heating any more. Hypothermia is inevitable.

Graces 7, I hope you're being a little flippant but PLEASE PLEASE get help if that is even remotely likely to happen. Please mail/ring any service that could be of help. Maybe someone on the Kerry forum could help and may know of services that could help?

Please pm if you need any other assistance. I'm serious. Do not go on if any financial help can be assisted.

yup I've family there and in Alberta, one of whom is a truck driver who goes north, I've been hearing about the lovely weather you guys are having :P

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 09-02-2015 10:40AM

That bitter cold is gone. 5 degrees at present and we are 160mt above sea level. The forecast is for at least 7 or 8 degrees today. It's hardly summer but severe ice is at last gone. Like most older people I feel the cold more than I did 50 years ago but today and yesterday have seen a marked improvement. At least the fire doesn't need to be lit until evening these days and it's warm enough to potter outside this morning without a big coat.

Liam90 · 09-02-2015 10:45AM

In Ireland its not the cold that gets you, its the wind.

Sorry and please worry not; I will cope as I always have done. it IS hard on pensioners. Always has been and always will be. Thankfully my landlord has now brought me some wood ( I do paperwork for him

and I am eking that out. Just seems no end of it in sight yet. I dare not light fire until late morning. Many are the same and not the govts fault as really we in Ireland are so well cared for compared to anywhere else, but this winter is a battle. Weary of having to wear so many clothes but glad to have them to wear.. Vincent de Paul is my fashion house! Excuse rant! But if you have pensioner neighbours PLEASE be aware that there is hardship this winter. Each day adds to that while this weather lasts. Again thank you for caring. Venting has helped

I have family in NS and Newfoundland who have been literally iced in this last while ... but they are well prepared.
