kinda funny...

its been fairly cold here recently in the mornings....like -20c to -25C (-4F to -13F)

i hadnt really checked the weather or anything really this morning, so i put on my regular office attire including a sweater. i put on my winter coat and proceeded to head outside.

it was snowing this morning, which should have given me an idea of what i was about to walk into....

...i tell ya, it felt friggin warm out. it was only 0C (32F) this morning....i feel like i didnt even need a coat!

anyways, i got thinking that might be an amusing story for people in the southern states or maybe austrailia as i figure they'd toss on a winter jacket when it drops to 50F, lol

I wait until it's in the 40's. Then out comes the winter coat !! Today it's in the low 40's here in Nashville. Tomorrow it's supposed to only get up in the low 20's. You're a cold weather stud !! Us Nashvillians are cold weather wimps !!

Down here in "cold" Florida it is going to be in the high 50's lows in the mid 30's. It's funny,people here are dressing in full winter jackets with layers. I am a native and am just wearing long sleeves. Must be some of the Canadian blood from my dads side.
