cool little "title"
It's only like 50F outside and I swear you see less people out cuz we think it's like freezing cold! I didn't go for a walk today, instead I cleaned house cuz it was a lot warmer to do, jeez, what would happen to me if I knew what real cold weather was like?

It's like that tv show the O.C. when the father said, it's cold outside, it's in the 70s!

Winter bites.
 
Yes winter sucks. I cannot even imagine living more north then where I do now. We had 70 degree weather last week and the whole city came alive again, but we are now back in the 30's and it isn't fun. Those nights were it gets down to 22-25ish make me want to cry.
 
I remember shooting a commercial in LA in November several years ago. It was in upper 50's in the evening. Everyone from the agency, which was from KC, thought it was quite nice. We were all wearing light jackets. The LA folks were all wrapped up in scarves and fleece and downing coffee and cigarettes to stay warm. I would've mocked them, but as the writer I was probably the lowest-paid person on set. :beer:
 
When it's 50 degrees here, it can be crazy cold. Yes, I'm used to cold weather, but the wind in Oklahoma cuts like a knife through your clothing. You might as well not be wearing anything.

When it gets down into the teens, and the wind is "gusting" I try to stay indoors.
 
I'm from the high elevation of Colorado, (7,544ft) where in the winter sometimes during the day it wouldn't even get above 10 degrees, so being out in LA even on days like this that are 40-50 degrees, I don't mind. :)
 
You are giant wimps.

I 2nd this.

I grew up where -30C was a common thing and you'd get 40-50cm snow all the time. When I was a kid, I can remember seeing snowbanks on the side of the roads 10-12 feet high.

I'll take snow and cold weather over, Hurricanes, Tornados, Fires, Floods and Earthquakes any day.
 
You're telling me. I'll never forget last year when I first moved out here from Indiana walking into Whole Foods (I had never heard of WF until then, later I found out this is where the wimpiest of Californians shop, but I shop there now so what does that say about me....ha) I just got off of work and walked in wearing a t-shirt and pants thinking it felt pretty nice out and a lady walks out of the store with a Northface ski/winter jacket, ear warmers, and gloves. I think it was about 55 degrees out after sunset.

And don't get me started on the rain.... as soon as the first drop hits the pavement, everyone on the interstate comes to a screeching halt. You'd think we're having an astroids storm.
 
Yes, we are wimps, but we are TANNED wimps, thank you very much. At least we can all the Vitamin D we need cuz everyone in California seems to be health minded, they jog, ride their bikes, go for walks, sit out in sun to read, so yes, if it's below 75, it's cold outside.

I'm wimpy. And plus it's rainy today, the only people walking are the hard-core addicts who will run in any weather and yes, there will be a few out there.

By the way, for you people up north, what's a scarf? bawhwahahahahahaha

Tell me about it!! My wife and I almost moved to Idaho for retirement. Have a son that lives up there. We would have been ice cycles. It's weird though. We lived in Denver in the 80's and I remember going outside in a light shirt when it was 38 degrees and being comfortable. Low humidity I guess.
 
Wimps? Or smart

What about the constant threat of fire that happens every year?

That alone would freak me out.

Again, I'll take 5 months of winter over the constant threat of living in the south.

When the wind chill hits -50F, I think about zipping it up

I believe you doth exaggerate.

I believe he isn't, Minnesota is one of the coldest places in NA.

I've also expierenced -50, but that was celsuis, non of that wimpy fahrenheit! :)
 
It's only cold when it hits -20 degrees F

It's only cold when it hits -20 degrees F

I live in Southern California, but went to Idaho for 2 weeks in January.

I have to say, it is NOT cold in Southern California!!!!
Even when the temperature on the family farm, where I stayed, hit 32 degrees F, it wasn't that cold either. :)

I do like being on the Farm in Idaho, you can go out in the back yard and shoot an egg with a 22....
