At the pump stations where I work, you can throw a cup of cold water above your head and it’ll all vaporize before it hits the ground. When it gets cold, you can do the same thing with a cup of piping hot coffee.
Last time I went to Mexico with a couple friends (November), we were the only three people at the water park. Had a blast, no lines. Come to think about it, we were the only ones in the swimming pool too. Don’t know what the big deal was, it was over 60.

I went to Tucson in the spring. Temperature was in the high 70s, which I consider "shorts and t-shirt" weather.
You would have thought I had green skin and tentacles. Everyone down there was wearing long sleeve shirts and/or sweaters.

Up here in blizzardland, the old ones used to say they didn't mind the weather because it kept the 'riff raff' out, as though the riff raffers could care about a thousand mile block of ice. Funny thing, I don't ever hear that anymore. Maybe the riff raff have arrived and they all have $29k snowthrowers.

Not really. That's the winter norm..... - 35 F. When it gets cold, it'll get down to - 70. Then there's the wind..........
That's up the line on the pump stations heading to Prudo Bay. I'm at the other end of the pipeline where it's nice and warm all winter. About + 10 - + 30.

I guess +30 would be the tropics
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

You Canadians would love Hawaii right about now.
I lived there for 2 years w/out wearing long pants or a jacket.
My nose peeled every couple days and I still have a scar where my lip split repeatedly, but it was nice and warm.

-32.5*C on my drive in to the plant this morning. How is it for the rest of you? They don't give the windchill up here - they're afraid no one will leave their houses.
