First frost

[Mattk]

Subzero temperature is not something I've experienced a lot of in my life. And I like it that way. 8)

Its hot as hell right now in Holland, I wish it would get colder. Might sound strange but this weather is really bad for my hayfever, I can only support frost and snow :mrgreen:

[Mattk]

How can you love warmth if you don't know what "f*cking freezing" is

I went to the snow once. That was bloody cold. Even when it isn't inordinately cold I still hate it. Probably because I live in a part of the world where it's always windy. Worse if I'm a few degrees south.

[Mattk]

If you go "swimming" into snow from hot shower or from sauna, you wont believe the rush you get from it afterwars. You can really feel the blood circulating in all you vains. Not nice while doing it, but extremely nice feeling right after.

:shock: Woah. Actually, maybe I should try it one day, just for the heck of it. :)

The lowest temperature this year here in my city was 14º C :lol: :lol: :lol:
In summer it can get to 42ºC :lol:

but I can0't wait to go skiing again :P !!!

I would welcome the Winter but Summer just hasn't lasted long enough here in New England.. I'm just hoping we get a few more nice weeks of nice sunny warm weather before I start hearing frost bite warnings.

Although I can't wait for the first drive in the snow :D

[abbor]

Yeah, I experienced the first cold firsthand the other day.. We were several hours patroling and on observation posts.. I freezed my ass off, and I know it's only getting worse...

[gucom]

dang i hope we'll still have loads of warm weather to come... ive bee nworking fulltime all summer holiday long, so i've hardly had any sun, im trying to catch every ray of it now...
but i also LOVE winter, if it freezes and snows (most of the time here in holland winter is just a cold and moist part of the year with grey skies and grey everything, we only have something like a week and a half of snow each winter :( global heating sucks...)

I know Gucom, also because of the shitty location oh Holland that the Winters always suck :x

I'm sure some of the aussie JW members can relate.

Maybe not the IV drips part. But yeah, I've regularly played and refereed basketball in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees celcius during the summer, right under the burning sun, on asphalt. It doesn't help that humidity down here is also pretty high. We've had a very warm September; it's been at summer temperature for the past week or so.

I am so sorry for our Aussie members. They don't know the fun they're missing due to the lack of snow down there. Sideways baby, sideways.

Well, they have Holdens with big V8 engines and many torque so they might be going sideways even without the snow :wink:

I'm happy to be in equatorial heat again. I've had enough of the cold in the UK. When it gets too hot, all you feel is uncomfortable, and it's a great excuse to go swimming... or lock yourself up in your bedroom with the airconditioning on.

When it gets too cold... it f*ckin HURTS. Bleeding, cracking knuckles and heels just suck donkey balls so bad.

We don't all drive those cars. Most Holdens are V6 and naturally-aspirated. Not very powerful.

Oh didn't know that :oops: , Sorry Aussie...

It's OK. Although Ford has V8s its Falcon range as well, which I prefer. Australian motorsports enthusiasts are generally divided into two camps - Holden and Ford.

[BADMIHAI]

I'm with HULLU on this one.

Yeah I knew that, might wanna go to the James Hardy next time but flying is so expensive I would have to sleep outside, because I wouldn't have any money left LOL :)

[Mattk]

The YHAs are pretty cheap, and pretty decent for youth hostels. They have them in most major towns and cities. The one in Canberra was the last one I stayed at and the women's bathroom required keycard access. Not sure why.

I guess humans get used to any kind of environment if they want to. I find it easier to get warm in the cold weather than get cool in the hot weather.

Well, if anything, you guys pay for 3 things... gas (for heating), electricity, and water. We only pay for two.

:D

[Mattk]

Don't you pay for the gas for the stove?
