I mean, it's gotten below 65 down here. The old people are digging out the fur lined hats!
...Yeah, I'm gloating. You frozen foolish fools!
Wimps. It ain't cold until it dips below 0F.
Pfft. I've seen it hit 108F here in the summer and I've seen it hit -20F in the winter. I walk out to the end of the driveway to get my mail in three inches of snow with no coat and no shoes on.
I'm a New Englander - talk to me about weather (no matter how hot or cold) and I'm just gonna laugh at ya...
(It's a contractual obligation.)Wimps. It ain't cold until it drops to 0 Kelvin.
Reparations complete.
Yep. I am freezing!

Gloating about what? Cos you're stuck in the horrid heat? Sod that. I'll take icy winds and knee-deep snow any day of the week.
still in shorts and no snow to be seen.
I don't need to say anymore. Other than you damned Northerners have stolen our winters and gave us your winters.
it's a horrible 37F (that's 3C for all you sensible people) here in PEI canada, what with all the rain & wind.
still in shorts and no snow to be seen.
Snow doesn't show up until negative C.
-3C, windy, snows a little.
still didn't change the fact that i was in shorts and no snow.

Maybe where you're at, but 'round here we get snow above 0 C. It just doesn't last long. Sorta like how we got golf ball-sized hail on a sunny day. Sure, in a few hours all the hail was gone (the damage wasn't), but we still got it on a day where people were going 'round in shorts and t-shirts.
Actually, whether or not it snows is much more dependent on the temperature in the upper atmsphere than down here - too hot up there and the moisture in the air either forms droplets instead of ice crystals or the crystals melt again before they fall; too cold up there and the ice crystals form too fast and at too high an altitude so they just blow around up there and never drop. Which is why sometimes you get hail in fairly warm weather, and other times it's too cold to snow.
there is around a foot of snow on the ground here.

Well, if it make you feel any better, the northeast is getting a blizzard right now...
and with that, i shall pronounce my victory over you silly americans with a dance:

A snow-rain mix, that's possible above 0 C.
I though hail usually hits on hot days.
not us!

Is that Karateka?
In other news, I know the difference between sleet and snow.

In other news: I think it's the first time I've seen the word "sleet" (no special word for this in my lingo) and I'm no meteorologists.
as for hurricanes: yeah, we get those occasionally.
thankfully, though we're a small little island our geographic position pretty much makes sure we only get the leftovers.
new brunswick, nova scotia and quebec get hurricanes, snow storm, floods.
we get a little rain & wind.
not us!

The Russians held off the germans because of their winters,
so not so silly. However what you don't about that dance is that there are about 12 ninjas dancing with you.
... I'm reminded of a time in high school where some idiot kid said that you don't get hurricanes up north. At which point I told them that I had been in a hurricane up north. The idiot kid then insisted that it was simply impossible.

People didn't think a hurricane could have hit Katrina either.
And the public transit system retracted it's "ready for the winter" statements when the first snowflakes hit and went back into "full panic mode", cutting half the trains and advising people not to use it. That's what you get for turning it into a private company.
It was 27F here monday. Twenty-Seven. I've had to de-ice my car in the parkinglot the last 2 days to go home. Hmmph.
so you're in shorts & t-shirt weather then or am i the only one laughing his arse off as other people wear 4 layers of clothes?

1 Cold in Miami is considered anything below 65F.
It's 73F here now. I hate this place. It gets cold1 for 2 days, people start crying, then it gets hot again and your sack sticks to your legs from the heat and humidity.

Your troll-fu is weak lately. Is everything o.k.? Are you still cring over you Ex-GF or is it the extra hours you are working that have you acting like such a D-bag lately?

Nice try, but no. Just an observation of Goldo's recent behavior.

Well, no, I was in a polo shirt and dickies. Uniform thingy.
For me it has been raining nearly nonstop for roughly 3 weeks and more. The cloud cover has kept it relatively warmer compared to what it usually is at this time however it also means it is always wet and dark. Seriously some days I'm not even sure if the sun came out. But looks like the rain might be gone and with it back to being cold.
*They'll go numb around the 50s and 60s F after a while, especially if i'm not doing much, but when cooler it happens within a few minutes as to opposed maybe an hr or two. **
**For me cold weather is kinda a health issue so me no likes it.

I hate it when people pull crap like that, insisting that their third-hand hearsay trumps your actual first-hand experience.
I recall back at school when they taught us about the senses. We were informed that humans taste certain flavours in certain areas of the tongue and then did an experiment to "prove" it. I told the teacher I could taste all the flavours everywhere on my tongue and was informed that I was wrong and no I could not.

That make perfect sense to people who do not use the Imperial System yet are not too thick to understand more than a single system of measurement or some childishly simple conversion formulae.

Like google.
"# Fahrenheit in Celsius" is a great conversion formula.

Yeah but Google does not reside in one's head whereas the formula "(Cx1.8)+32" can do so quite easily.
