I was just out wrapping my porch railing with winter solstice lights, wearing just a turtleneck. Well, and jeans, sneakers, socks and undergarments. But no coat. It's 29 degrees out, but sunny! Y'all are wimps.

LOL Yep, we are wimps when the weather is cold and icy, but you aren't much better in the "hot" weather. LOL Wargod, I think maybe your climate is pretty close to same as mine. I am not in Phoenix anymore and the elevation here is a bit higher so the temps are maybe 4 - 5 degrees lower in summer and several degrees lower in winter. Currently, it is 1 pm here and the temp outside is 52. It is sunny with no breeze, so if I stand where the sun isn't blocked by ANYTHING, ehehe It isn't bad. Of course, I am wearing a t-shirt and a longsleeve sweatshirt.

Yup, sounds like we're pretty close Treasure (climate I mean, lol.) It's 52 here too today and we're waiting for a big storm this afternoon. I've seen a few sprinkles this morning. I'm kinda glad I don't really have to go anywhere today. Oh and I'm still in my flannel jammies!

you guys are just talking temperature. Humidity / moisture is what makes all of the difference. A minus 5 Celcius on the coast is a deep penetrating cold that is difficult to dress for...you are cold to the bone no matter what A minus 30 on the Prairies is crisp and easily dressed for. None of the deep ache in the joints etc due to the drier air.

oh I just remembered something. a sad story on the news told us about a little girl who smothered when her snow tunnel caved in on her while playing. I guess it takes stories like that to remind us all to be extra careful when deep snow falls.

Ack Beckie. I've been hearing on the weather that it's supposed to start later and go and go and go, but other than dark clouds and some sprinkles it doesn't seem like it's going to rain that hard yet. Yesterday when I checked the weather it was showing it was going to rain the rest of the week, now it's just listed for today and possibly Thursday so we'll see.

-30° here. I just had to take our Executive Coordinator to Sam's Club to buy her a heater to put under her desk. LOL She just moved here from South Carolina. Not only does she have the heater going but she's wearing long insulated underwear under her dress. What a princess!
