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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
