I will not go outside if it's 10'F or lower. It's too dangerous!

Anything below 40 is too cold for me.  Fortunately, we don't have too many days where I live, where it gets colder than that.

It's 6:17p, snowing temp at 18*, but it's a bit windy so with the wind chill feels like 9*.  The temp will be at -3 tonight.  Thank goodness for Malden Mills sheets!, they keep you toasty warm without overheating.

Forgot to mention, i don't like it when it's below 40.  Last two winters here (Anchorage) have been pretty mild, so we've been lucky.  We'll see what this winter brings.

Any temp below 50. I don't like cold weather at all. Don't get me started on snow, freezing rain and sleet.

I would love to live in AK all summer.  Been there twice & loved every minute of it.

Below 30 is too cold. I hate Winter (and snow) since I am older. I prefer Summer, the hotter the better.

 

Why do I hate Winter? Because I can no longer shovel, sled, risk falling with my bad back, or do anything I used to do in the snow when I was younger. All Winter is to me, is more time stuck inside!

@shoesnbags I'm a northerner, born and bred.  And I'm with you--below 50 is too cold.  Which is why I now live in the south. : )


LOL @JaneyD I totally understand!  We used to have an elderly neighbor who was originally from Indiana. Every time we had a cold spell, he'd say, "If this keeps up, I'm going to have to move farther South!"

@Plaid Pants2,  I remember one year with the wind factor it was 80 below.  It was extremely cold and you had to wear many layers, cover your face.  I actually walked a block in it.  I was young.  This was in the Chicago area.  I actually like the crisp air of the cold but when it's 10 below that is cold for me.  You could not live in this area.  Cat Very Happy
