fur lined hats, ski jackets designed for -25, is this needed? Is it just me who gets ****ed off by this complete limpness at not even cold weather? In Liverpool right now its 9 degrees and there are people all around looking as if they are in the Polar region, come tomorrow night the same people will harden up and be wearing nothing for a night on the town.

I went to Russia in January once without really understanding what 'cold' meant. Everybody had furlined hats and boots I had a cheapo parka no hat and DMs. It was -26c one day but warmed up to -16c. Is this the right thread for that?

Made the same mistake in Qubec - I had ice in my nose. What a hell hole that was.

Was in Finland a few years ago - minus 20 outside in the daytime, but +24 in the climate controlled shops. How quickly my attire changed from snug to sauna as I went through the doors.

I worked in Moscow in the late 90's - during one of the coldest winters on record a "warm" front came through and the temp rose from -32 to -15 - and the sun came out - people were out on the streets in T-shirts drinking vodka at the many kiosks dotted around the city!

What I do find strange is the number of people you see wearing shorts in the middle of the Winter. Quite often I go to SMS with a hat, gloves and 4 or 5 layers and see some bloke walking around in shorts.

Legs are always moving and stay warm.

Silly boy - you'll catch you death of cold. Then you'll be sorry

I have sympathy. On Tuesday I was freezing my nuts off so on Wednesday I wore big coat, but then it turned out that the weather on Wednesday was a lot more warm. It is this in-and-out running from the weather god's that is to blame. All we is ask for is consistency.
