    It's that time of year again

    It's the time of year when people start looking at me funny because it's below zero with wind chill and I'm wearing shorts, sandals, and a t-shirt.

    How cold is it where you live, and how much do you wear? (KH, we already know your answer to the second question.)

    It's been between teens and thirties. I wear a leather coat that has an underlining part inside to keep me warm. I cover my head, ears, and gloves when it's this ****ing cold out.

      Pennsylvania is not cold.

      Right now it's -17C (1.4F) in Toronto which isn't too cold.

      Calgary is to dip to -29C (-20F), BEFORE windchill, this weekend.

      In Toronto I'm wearing jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt and a spring jacket outside.

      In Calgary I'd wear jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, and a regular winter jacket (rated to -15C or so).

        I have to admit I find it hilarious when I see recent immigrants to Canada wearing long underwear when it's ~0C outside.

        Or bundled up in several layers and puffy jackets in the same temperature.

        Pussies...

          Shorts is for females and very young boys. Grown-up men wear proper pants year round.

            Coming from the other side of the Atlantic, I have a problem understanding this word "sneakers". What is it exactly that the wearer is supposed to be sneaking up on?

            Also, how is it possible to determine the geometric characteristics of a person's underwear when they are presumably also wearing overwear?

              Dude, I happen to agree with you. It's everyone around me that doesn't.

                  It's in the 20s right now. I wear a long sleeve shirt and a pair of pants.

                    I go to a gym. People who wear long underwear are very obvious.

                      "pants"

                      Don't you people know what this word actually means? In English?

                        Pants. It's short for pantaloon, which is a feminine way to say trousers.

                        It's also used to refer to all things UK.

                          Well at least people are looking at Kuci funny for wearing shorts, t-shirts, and mandals rather than looking at him funny for the usual reasons...

                            In Atlanta it is really cold (for Atlanta) - mid 30s. So I'm wearing jeans, dress shirt with cotton sweater (I'm at work - at home I'd be wearing a long sleeve shirt), and thin down CK jacket.

                              No, they're looking at you funny because you're wearing a wife beater, jorts, and crocs.
                              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
