California's aren't use to cold weather!!!

[Zander]

No clue. I wear a light jacket all winter. When the wind chill hits -50F, I think about zipping it up.

I usually walk around shirtless with wet hair.

 

[Thomas J. O'Hara]

I know it's not cold here in San Diego because I can go through a whole winter without turning on the heater, and our house has no insulation.

That, and there's parrots outside my house screeching right now.

So you were the dude walking around the neighborhood frostbitten with the icicle head.:beer:

 

[commalot]

Right now it's 53 degrees in Los Angeles and I'm cold.

 

[Batutta]

I was in Edmonton over Christmas. They'd be going shirtless today.

my house doesn't have heat and it's ****ing COLD

The cold in LA seems to 'get in your bones' more than the cold I grew up w/back in the Midwest. Even when I go back for the holidays the cold there feels more 'brisk' than 'numbing' if that makes sense.

I must have lived right by you. For about 3-4 months I woke up every morning to parrots screeching and didn't figure out what they were until one random day I looked up and saw a parrot and was flipping out. I looked around to see if anyone was looking for their lost pet. Later that week I walked by a tree full of them and finally realized that I'm not in Indiana any more and there is such things as wild parrots.

Part of that is because it's so dry here... I'm convinced dry cold is colder than wet cold.

How do you not have heat?

I suppose most house don't have a whole lot of insulation.

because I live in l.a. .....

 

[Kholi]

I got de_spaceheater right next to me in the office.

I'm from GA, I know cold well but I can say that I've gotten used to LA weather to the point where I can't handle the cold as well as I used to.

I'm trying to re-adapt to the cold. Just moved to Colorado. It hasn't been bitter cold here, but when you aren't used to it, it kinda sucks. When the wind is blowing, it sucks. When it's cold and snowing, feels oddly nice.

I lived in Alaska from 88 to '92 and like Robbie said, when it got up to 32F it was like a major shift. Felt so warm once you broke that freezing barrier. I remember playing nerf football out in the street in sweatshirt and sweatpants in 19F weather.

But, after 10 years in the deep south, I'm a wuss...

Later,
Jason

Here, down south (Bavaria) today...

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

Tanned now....old and wrinkly in a few years....and after that....face lifts.

Postmaster- That last picture is badass!:beer:

 

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Where I live in California it gets quite cold (in comparison to the rest of the state). It's probably about 45 right now but it gets down there. We've been having a lot of wild snow storms lately which is kind of nice. I like it.

oh cool, where did you live?
I'm in OB, although I used to live in La Mesa and they were out there too.

I like the cold because it lets me put on heavy cloths and hide the fact that I'm pretty well out of shape.

But even now, I'm wearing a wool sweater and have a heater going constantly maintaing a decent level but it's not siberia or anything. It's around zero. Camping weather.

And, I had a rabit living under the garage that came out in the mornings and we'd give it bread and what not up until a couple days ago. Now, there's a big fat black cat that's taken over that comes out for food and ducks back in. Mmmm, I'm, well, I hope to see that rabbit again.

Snow wise for you photogs, there's some very interesting formations in the snow banks around here as they melt that I think would be good to take a few shots of. I think if I had a macro is it(?) and a decent cam...

Oh yea, I still look like I'm oh maybe 20-30- 50 yrs old now. Not like you sun burnt prunes in L.A. We'll actually my booze and cigs intake probably puts me back on par, lol.

Actually, one of the reasons I like warm weather is because you have a reason to be outside, and as a side effect you want to be in shape.
