It's bloomin' cold here. I could see my breath this morning, the heating is on full blast and it's dark at night. Roll on Christmas

It ain't winter unless there is a minus before the temperatures. On other hand, female perception differs and anything below 18° is considered to be winter.

It's not quite negative yet but we are in single figures.

Besides, Scotland is quite warm in winter compared to other parts of Europe. It's cold for us! But I haven't got used to it yet. It has been very mild the last few weeks

Well to be honest, it rarely goes below freezing over here either. All the more lovely when there are some dry and clear -5° winter days.
Chekov would probably say that "winter has been inwented in Russia".

I know cold, this was normal for winter when I lived in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Ouch, -40°F is about -40°C, that is definitely in the painful cold area.

True, but have been in as low as -78 F.

And then out of the cold into the heat of a middle eastern mission. The godhead seems to be quite resilient.

The coldest I have been in was -22C in Glasgow. It was the coldest winter for many many years. That was in about 1996
