    My favourite programmmes on tv at moment are Life below zero and Wild Alaska !

    Quite fancy the idea of building my own off grid cabin out there, not sure I could handle 6months+
    of winter though.
    Closest I get here is cutting up up wood with a chainsaw for my log burner but I welcome long dark nights
    at this time of year.

    Winter is....nearly arriving? No. Thats not the phrase...

    Hmmm catchy but no.

    Ya, it feels like winter has started here, too. I need a second blanket at night now. I was shivering yesterday, and looked at the thermostat on the A/C controller. It said 67 F. Brrr! I turned on the heat for a little while.

    T-shirt weather.

    No it really is. If you need a second blanket at 67F, then you need to take a serious look at yourself.

    I just checked google.
    That's nearly 20°C, isn't it.
    Not cold at all, therefore I am with Simon here :eek:

    It slowly starts getting a bit cold here, around 4°C (39F I think), but mostly at night.

    I'm thinking about getting up tomorrow morning, and take a walk with the dog to the river, to make photos with fog, and frost and such.
    Just not sure, if I really want to get that close to freezing ;)
    Or getting up that early.
    :rolleyes:

    I've just serviced my car, and put a winter jacket, a small snow shovel and some gloves in the car, I'm ready for winter/will look like a well prepared murderer if they police stop me!

    I usually get a good 3 inches of warm liquid snow on winter days :D

    Same here..almost...it is just that 3 inches of warm liquid snow comes in the form of 3 feet of cold ice crystal snow :D

    I can't tell if that's sarcasm or not. I worked all day today outside in about 44 Fahrenheit (7 degrees Celsius). If my day was as warm as your night I'd walk outside with shorts on.

    I guess it depends on the usual temperature of the region. I visited Kenya when it was 15c and they were wearing jumpers and complaining how cold it was.
    They put hot water bottles in our beds! (Very hospitable, but really confused us at the time).

    I was in Vegas winter and it was 60 to 70 degrees. It was easy to find locals...they were the ones in the full length wool coats and down jackets. I kid you not

    AS for here, in real upstate NY.... more snow tonight into tomorrow and the coldest Thanksgiving in 20 yeas is forecast for Thursday. In the morning it will be in the teens and the high is 23F

    LOL! It's the sudden drop. We lost 20 degrees in a few days. Things have settled now.

    Ya, I've seen people dressed like that, too. It's the contrast in temperature, not the actual temperature, that makes them do that, but I think they're being too extreme.
