          Yes it is, but that’s not very cold.

            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.

            People have no idea what -25°C feels like…

              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.

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

                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.

          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.

      In a few years, with global warming on the rise, we may be saying that 50C isn’t that hot.

      We see 50C in Australia from time to time now thanks to global warming.
