          It is actually, literally freezing, then again temperature feeling is a bit relative. Anything under 20 is chilly to me.

            I’m in Winnipeg. I saw an old buddy today grabbing some beer wearing shorts and a t shirt. He walked past the cars when we left, I assume he was walking home.

            It was -4c today. My kid took his gloves and jacket off at the park. He’s 2. We were there for over an hour.

            It’s not really cold around 0c. It’s definitely manageable if you’re moving around.

            I was on holiday at Disneyland Paris at 14 in December or January one year and it was -14/15 °C and it was the coldest place I’ve been and it definitely felt like it. I’m from Ireland for reference so winters are pretty mild here.

              It was -28°C the night I was born, 1st of February. People around here don’t remember a winter as cold as that one.

              Maybe that’s why I like the cold, IDK.

              That is true. Would like to experience that one day, I was thinking of moving to Alaska or Canada in the not so distant future, somewhere very cold.

            -40°C and -40°F is where I take the kiddos outside with a cup of boiling water and let them make snow.

        Depending on where you live, going below freezing, even down towards 0F (-18C), is common. I’d say things don’t go into “too cold to go out” territory until the single digits for me.

      Tbh all I care about with wether temp is wether it’s possible to snow or not. So on that front Celsius is quite intuitive and useful.

        1 or 2 to about 5°C is snowing temperature. Yes, I agree, quite intuitive.

        I like the snow. I like cold, in general. I hate summers, I’m always too hot and sweaty.
