Journal mercedo's Journal: Cold, Colder, Coldest 10

Journal by mercedo
For these 4 or 5 days, we have had a very cold day. In our system, it's less than 5 degrees celsius, in Fahrenheit it's 36 degrees.

Who said we have been suffered from Global Warming? I think we need a global warming up.

Oh, so cold..

  • It's really not. There are places where the parking lots have electrical outlets so people can plug in their block heaters to keep the engine from freezing while inside. Those people know from cold.

    In my mind, anyone who lives where you can safely ice skate outdoors in late December lives in a cold climate. Everyone else has it easy.

    • Cujo..Thanks for commenting.

      I don't live in a condominium, I live in a house on a hill, so when it's so windy&stomy as is tonight, lots of wind creeps into the room, so it's cold. In the country where cold winter is so familiar, they must be well prepard for the coldness. Our houses are made of paper, wood, and paste(a kind of concrete made of cray), besides I live southern part of the archipelagoes -the latitude is the same as Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Sydney.

      You live in the north? For the northern

      • I now live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. (about 40 deg N lat.), which is a more moderate climate. I have have lived in much colder places, and I have lived in Los Angeles, which is semi-tropical. I went through one "Winter" in Los Angelese without ever turning my heat on.

        I have also lived in a house on a hill. My main problem with that was all the lightning strikes.

        • Ya. I lived in Minnesota for 10 years, and was a Boy Scout in those years -- and we camped outside a lot in all weather. Minnesota has very extreme conditions -- often well below zero Fahrenheit in winter, and sometimes close to 100 F in summer (with very high humidity because of all the lakes). The local Boy Scout council also had a special award, the Zero Hero, which was awarded to anybody crazy enough to spend 24 hours straight outdoors in subzero (Fahrenheit) weather -- that is, -17 C.

          Yes, I got that

          • Oh, now I must retract what I said. It's 6 degrees Celsius in a room. Warm enough.
            • And here's me thinking that anything below 20C (68F) is cold...but I live in Sydney, where the daytime temperature rarely drops into single digits, even in the middle of winter.

              It hit 38.9C (102F) last week, so I'm off to the beach; not to swim, I just love to watch a good drunken rampage.
              • Which beach? I recommend Le Peruse.
                • Coogee or Bronte are my favourites, but I haven't been to a beach near Sydney for some years...too much attitude from the locals. Speaking of which, we've had rioting over the last few days at Maroubra and Cronulla; just when I think I've seen the limits of mindless selfishness, something comes along to renew my contempt for humanity.
  • It's -2 C (27 F) right now in Minnesota (where I live and work), worse, I'm thinking it's almost warm today because it was much colder last week. Ethelred is right. It's cold here.
    • Minnesota is located as high as Sakhalin, Hokkaido here in the Far East. The climate there is completely different from here in Kyushu island. The most renowned place for producing sake is Fushimi in Kyoto and Nada in Kobe, but when it comes to shochu, Kyushu is the heart of its production. All Bourbon tastes extremely well and Scotch has its own taste as well, when in Rome, as Romans do, every place knows the best produce they can come up with, but for me Bourbon is the best.
