It's freakin' *0* degrees F outside right now (that's -18C for some of you); with the wind chill, it "feels like" -20F. WTF am I doing here?! GRRRRR...

Put some clothes on then!

Paddy

Nooo!!!

wear a duvet - start a new fashion!

I feel for you Sinny.

It's only 21 degrees C here today, it was 35 on Sunday, and the week ahead looks a bit chilly too:

08th 17/28 Fine. Wind: Fresh southeasterly.
09th 17/23 Fine, morning cloudy areas. Wind: Fresh southwesterly.
10th 16/24 Fine, cloud on mountain. Wind: Strong southeasterly.
11th 16/29 Fine. Wind: Moderate southeasterly.
12th 17/24 Partly cloudy, morning fog patches. Wind: Fresh northwesterly.

those are the min/max temps in degrees C.

Thanks for the offer, but if I go outside I might get all sweaty, it's kinda humid today (which is unusual in these parts). I'm sure the Aussies on this board are having much better weather than me.

I'm a July baby so after the xmas festivities I tend to go all SAD and hibernate waiting for the first green shoots of spring to appear and then I know it's going to get better. And warmer.

Wear a duvet?! Nowt as queer as northern folk ...

I tend to be angry most of the year round and as a result quite warm.

Paddy

that's nothing - i've been making plans for not having to get out of bed untill it gets a bit warmer. so far i've got this idea about nailguns and leg holes....

i plan on not only wearing a duvet, but also a mattress and pillows.

untill july.

Hehehe! Actually, you should see my winter coat - it *looks* like a duvet!

Not quite sure if the Slumberland Goth look will catch on but worth a shot. With a nailgun?

well i hate to be contrary (no, really, i do), but i LOVE winter. i could go on forever but the most important reason is that i get to wear my ridiculously expensive cashmere overcoat everyday. and we get lots of fog. and it's another excuse to just sit in the pub all day. and there's less overweight women exposing their flabby midriffs to the world. and the temperature in our non-air-conditioned office is (almost) bearable. and...well, like i said, there's lots of reasons.

now stop whining and hal - you have my sympathies....

Move to Phoenix. It's either warm or HOT. You will never have to worry about it being cold, and can throw away all your heavy coats!

Just be warned, once you return to cold weather....it will utterly kill you! I had a plate in my ankle and it used to freeze me like a SOB. Had it removed obviously!

yeah, nail the duvet on so i can walk round and leave my hands free for reading.

who hasn't dreamed of walking round wearing their bed and reading?

Yeah, right - your "winter" temperatures tend to hover around 40F, right?

@ Richie.....How long did that New Year's Resolution of yours last? You really are in fine form today.

oooh, farenheit. how quaint! on a good day we go sub-zero c which is 32f if my memory serves. believe me though i'd love to live somewhere that has real winters. only problem is most of those kind of places seem to go to the other extreme in summer which i would hate. ho hum, guess i'll have to stick to good old blighty and our (mostly) sensible weather...

i was doing fine until that "favourite tv programmes" thread popped up yesterday. that seems to have rather opened the floodgates...
