[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60089, member: 1991"] How cold is it? I don't know how to account for wind chill, but the external temperature out of the wind (in the garage) was 9 degrees C today (about 48 F). I know to a lot of people this sounds very warm, but it sure feels cold. I was surprised in New Zealand at how it didn't really feel so cold, even when it was less than that. I watch various TV shows from around the world, we get a lot of the Law and Order series, filmed in New York, and I've watched them filming with snow on the streets but people wearing what seems to be fairly light (for cold weather) clothing - no hat, no scarf, a tailored coat. I couldn't understand how you could dress so lightly when there's snow on the ground - until we experienced it for ourselves. There were several places where we were comfortable with fewer layers despite snow and ice, than I'm wearing now. In New Zealand I wore my thermal layers and often found I could do without my heaviest coat. Indoors I stripped off the layers. Now, back home, I'm wearing the same clothes (the warmest ones) and still feeling really cold. I'm blaming it on the wind - we live with it so much, we come to see it as normal. Now I realise it is not. Not surprising, really - all the trees in our part of the village lean to the north, from the influence of the constant, cold, south wind. Keeps us a bit cooler in summer, though.., Fran, I hope NC is a bit cooler for you - high 80s should be pleasant enough. Kjs, I hope the baseball playoffs do OK - I know difficult child was disappointed at poor results the last few matches. Marg [/QUOTE]
