It is a shock to the system! &nbsp;After 25 yrs of marriage I still can't believe how cold it is when we visit DH hometown near Boston... They all laugh at me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1759196 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 01:43:38 +0000 kerlyn 1759196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even as a northerner, I'm having a hard time adjusting to the sudden dip in temperatures. &nbsp;I'm wearing lots of layers, drinking plenty of hot beverages, and not venturing too far from the fire. &nbsp;Sending warm wishes your way!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1759036 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:49:40 +0000 Style Fan 1759036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am freezing all the time in the winter and I grew up in Northern Ontario.&nbsp; I have tried to embrace winter sports but I can not imagine willingly going out in the cold for long periods of time to have fun.&nbsp; Fortunately my husband feels the same.&nbsp; Now that we have retired we escape to Florida for a couple of months each winter.&nbsp; Not long enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1759029 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:28:02 +0000 El Cee 1759029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about getting a heated throw?

Anything below 10C is COLD. And I don't do frozen. Can happily live without the snow and ice. Never miss it. That's a big reason for us not moving to Boston.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the heat. And it snowed here last night.</p> <p>*SIGH* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758970 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 13:56:32 +0000 Anonymous 1758970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the most miserable person in the world when I'm cold so I sympathise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758948 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 11:43:23 +0000 kkards 1758948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>welcome to the polar vortex 2016! i'm actually looking forward to it......its good for my business....for me personally...its layers layers layers </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758875 Fri, 09 Dec 2016 02:00:19 +0000 cindysmith 1758875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We're set for a hard freeze tonight.

Nowadays, however, my blood is &nbsp;thin.</p> <p>When I go to Chicago in the winter the locals will laugh at how I've gotten decked out in coats, sweaters and scarves. All I can say is, "my blood is thin." I long ago forgot how to drive in snow and sleet.</p> <p>So, I feel your pain. You have my deepest sympathy as I mentally prepare myself for the next adventure to the Chicago suburbs. As soon as I walk into the house, the family turns up the heat. I hope you find a toasty place, a pet on your lap and a good book, and maybe a space heater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758774 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 22:41:59 +0000 El Cee 1758774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not a wimp. I spent some time in Texas (for military training) and I remember the off and on wet, icy weather that we had from December through February. The cold could cut to the bone... and I am originally from New York. Hope you can get toasty and warm with some hot tea/cocoa. Wrap yourself in a luxurious, plush robe or cozy sweater.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758761 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 22:04:09 +0000 Sara L. 1758761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in Albuquerque and we're having a similar cold front to you (maybe the same one?).&nbsp; I've been freezing all day.&nbsp; We have a hot tub and I can't wait to get in it this evening.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758754 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 21:35:32 +0000 MTBGirl 1758754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, it's no fun feeling cold! Do you have a set of thermals (long-johns) you can wear underneath your outfit? They make a big difference! And how about a hot cuppa? I hope you warm up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758744 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 21:18:08 +0000 Alexandra 1758744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not a wimp. Such low temperatures are for the birds. I say this as a Floridian who, until we got stationed in Cheyenne, WY, thought that the negative side of the thermometer was there just for visual balance </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758707 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:29:00 +0000 Anonymous 1758707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think you are a total wimp.&nbsp; Adjusting to changing temperatures is hard.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-am-a-meat-popsicle#post-1758706 Thu, 08 Dec 2016 19:23:56 +0000 cindysmith 1758706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is currently 35F here in North Central Texas, but when the wind is factored in we have a "feels like" (windchill?) of 26F.</p> <p>Now, I know that it's not really COLD in the grand scheme of things, when there are parts of the US and Canada that see -40 (which is minus forty on both temperature scales), and that is just brutal.</p> <p>However, I grew up in the American south and 100+ degree Fahrenheit is not unusual, and 100 is actually where I start wearing shorts (if I wear them before it reaches 100, then they don't help me feel any cooler once it does so it's really just a mental game I try to play in summer). And our 100+ days can start as early as April and go as late as September. </p> <p>I am not acclimated to air that feels like 26F and I am a meat popsicle and I would cry but I don't want my tears to freeze on my face!</p> <p>OK, rant over. Thank you for listening to me whine like a wuss.</p> <p>p.s. it is totally ok to laugh at me if you're up north and think I'm a total wimp </p>
