The waxing story *laughs really hard*

I wonder how the weather is with us.
The sky is blue but that can mean anything.

[dragonsangel68]

I keep laughing at her too *giggles*

Our sky has come over all cloudy again, so I guess we might get a bit more rain overnight *yay*

[cosmo_jenny]

I don't need rain.
I think I want some snow. It is about bloody time for it.

[dragonsangel68]

We take every drop of rain we can get, especially at this time of the year ;)

You don't snow either? What is wrong with the world? *shakes head*

[cosmo_jenny]

NO snow.
But last week, we had some close calls to spring time. Something around 15°C. I thought I can pack away my winter coat.

[dragonsangel68]

You call 15C a close call with Spring? We call that winter! I'd have the heaters going all day long and my winter coat would most definitely be still out ;)

[cosmo_jenny]

Winter would be something from +7 to -15°C.
When we have 15° I can easily turn off heating and walk around in a light jacket.

[dragonsangel68]

A light jacket? Are you mad? I'd be freezing my bits off! It's odd what we become accustomed to *g* The coldest weather I've ever been in was about -3C and that was frosty *nods*

[cosmo_jenny]

-3°? Hahahaha.
That's usually standard temperature in January here.
I remember a time when I was in the States when I easily froze in tights, a PJ bottom and jeans, two scarfes, a thick sweater and my winter coat. Oh, and gloves.
Yes, I walked 45 mins to the library. My feet were frozen despite thights feet and wollen socks.

[dragonsangel68]

OMG! You walked? See, I wouldn't have contemplated walking in weather that cold *shakes head* I know, I'm soft *grins*

[cosmo_jenny]

I had to.
Otherwise, I would have stuck in the house 24/7 with the kids I was looking after and there was no car for me to drive around.
I just couldn't bear that anymore. So I walked. I did that quite often after I did it the first time in that icy weather. In March, it was a pleasure to walk because it was nice and sunny and warm but in January, it was horrible.

[dragonsangel68]

Ah so I'm not the only one who thinks you had a momentary lapse in brain function *giggles* But I do understand the need to escape gets very great at times ;)

[cosmo_jenny]

Oh, I didn't enjoy these walks at all.

[dragonsangel68]

I can imagine! It would take you forever to warm up afterwards ;)

[cosmo_jenny]

The movement keeps you warm after a while.
But yeah, it took forever to thaw after these walks. :)

I woke up to four inches of snow this morning. If you want, you can have it!!
