I grew up with Minnesota winters. -40* is quite brisk. Now living in Oregon, I walk in to work nearly every day with my gym shorts on before changing into work clothes in the locker room. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. someone makes a comment about me wearing shorts in (insert winter month). Dude. It’s like 55* and drizzling. Calm down.

When you get out the Carhart bibs AND the long johns, you know it’s cold.

I just found out today that work eliminated morning gym access for employees.  I used to love my morning lifts.

We’re allowed 5 hours per work week up to 90 minutes during shift per our CBA . It’s an awesome perk.

I went to college physics one day and it was -37 F. I added long johns under my jeans for the 10 minute walk to class.

And then there’s me who would probably just skip class and let future me deal with the consequences.

Glad I got out of MN when I had the chance.

When I was in college I had one day of cancelled classes and it was a huge deal on campus since it was the first cancellation in 20+ years. It was from a snowstorm though and not just cold. I remember walking around the day after that storm and watching one car oh so slowly slide and slide and slide and slide until they bumped into the car ahead stopped at the light. It was funny watching basically what you’d see in a cartoon actually happen.

Phoenix, Arizona. Florida Lite without the alligators.

Northern AZ is a lot more like Colorado, so it’s almost like two different states from Flagstaff up due to the Rockies .

When I was in school we didn’t ever close for cold, but did have so snow closures. Several days for one major storm, which in fairness dropped a lot of snow, enough to collapse a roof that had stood for 120 years:

I knew that guy in college. He was from Michigan, school was in Mid-Missouri, it was  fall semester . He’d walk to finals in December in shorts and a sleeveless shirt that said “ Detroit: where the weak are killed and eaten.”  I asked him about it and he said it was totally to mess with people as they walked to finals.  I miss that guy.

Sometimes a man must wear puffy pants. Sometimes a man must wear stretchy pants.

The right time to do this is his to choose.

We used to get an hour before and after our shift. I took 6 months off from using the gym , we got a new swipe access system. Now it’s only open to my shift from 3:30 - 5:00 PM. I work 7-4.

If you have an out of state license plate on the car you are driving, it is apparently completely justifiable to drive like an insane blind retard, so if you need plausible deniability AZ just might be your thing.

Otherwise it just feels a lot like Los Angeles with more space and less money. Unless you just LOVE desert scenery, you could probably do everything interesting Phoenix has to offer in a weekend.

Can relate, when it gets down to about 40, I avoid going outside anymore than necessary and try to get my errands done before sunset.

Pathetic, I know.

Wandering around the ramp at PDX can get chilly when the wind chimes down the gorge, but for the most part the winter temps are about the same as they were in Northwest Florida.

Yep. That’s me. When I worked in Holland, I’d go into work at the factory in steel toe capped boots, shorts and a polo shirt with a hard hat under my arm.

They used to call me the ‘crazy Englander’. Even now, if I’m not at work, I’ll be in shorts and polo shirt.

They are already cancelling school tomorrow because it is supposed to be cold. A low of 2. I remember waiting for the bus and it being -19 with a -30 windchill. This was 20 years ago though. And honestly w e never had snow days either. Crashed my Fiero into a 12 foot snow drift across the high way and received an in school suspension for being late.

We didn’t have anyone of those in our school but there was some guy in his 40's who never wore a shirt was always cycling around t he city area . Any kind of Finnish winter didn’t seem to bother him.

I can honestly say I never, ever got off school because of outside temperature (either hot or cold), although that seems to be a regular occurrence now. Maybe schools just build more extra days into the calendar than they did 15-20 years ago.

Obviously, we had snow days, of course, but it was always pretty self evident when and why those had to happen.

I’d love that for the views and the seafood spread.  Wind, not so much.  I always loved the evening warm breezes that came over the land when we vacationed in Delaware though.

There is NOTHING like fresh-off-the-boat seafood. Makes it all worth it.

I wore my Carhartt bibs and long johns the other day, for standing around outside not really moving a lot. Can’t wear enough layers in that scenario.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Duck Duck Grey Duck FTMFW! 02/01/2019 at 09:45

wore long johns under my jeans to work today and yesterday. and kept my cot on. 5-15 below outside, and maybe 50 in my office with a concrete slab floor.

True story. I was working in the very windy 40 degree weather last night, and by working I mean sitting on a stool with my arms over my head turning wrenches for hours. I got fairly chilly!

I went xc skiing from my house last night, it was about 5F and a light breeze. Once I got going in the woods I was actually hot, wearing two thin layers under uninsulated ski pants, and a t-shirt, fleece, and thin shell on top. But my toes on one foot (not the other, wtf) got super cold so I had to cut it short.

Get ya some e-lec-tric socks!

For some reason my feet never get cold... I must have crazy good circulation in my toes  or something.

Ugh, my toes get cold wakeboarding in the evening in June.
