I don't do that normally. It is blowing 80km/h wind right now, possibly some thunderstorms later today. However, I think I'm gonna have to go out to do food shopping because my husband will take my car to work for the rest of the week because we found out there was something wrong with his car so I won't have a car.
I still have little bit of food that I can make it couple more days but I have some double coupons that will be expired by Thursday, I don't want to waste it.
I hope I won't get blown away when I go out later

If the nasty wind is just harsh wind blowing or pouring down rain, i will suffer through that to venture out. If it is a nasty snow condition, I usually think twice about how much I really need to go out.1 person likes this

I never drive in snow big snow so I don't think I would go out at all in that situation, I can deal with the rain but not the snow since I don't have experiencing in driving in the snow.

Driving in the snow can be hazardous. You can drive in the same way as you do in the rain because of the road conditions. It's those patches of ice that can really cause a problem.1 person likes this

It depends on what I have to do so I may or may not go out. But if I have to do an important errand and or do an off-line job then weather or no weather I must go.
I don't particularly like it but if I must go out I try to bear it and run in and out of the car as quick as I can. I do hope it does not get too bad for you and the baby when you go out.

It's raining here I'm off today and I don't have a reason to go out. The weather is getting warm now but in the winter time I don't leave the house unless I have to because I hate cold weather. I hate rain too so I don't go out when it's raining unless I have to.

Yes I don't like going out as well, When it is nasty out but do I? Yes I do. In the winter I have a 4x4 truck goes through anything. So I go out if I have to. Even when it is nice out I don't like to go out as if I'm home I'm staying there. You have a good day.

FThe one thing I can say about going out when it is bad is that the store is empty almost so check out is fast. That is a plus and if it is snowing my walk gets done faster if I say we have to go out. It is a trick I learned from the men. Everytime I had to go to store and it snowed it was let me do frive before you drive on it. And they do the sidewalk first. So it gets done faster.

That's true, when I went out thismorning, the store was less people and I didn't have to wait for the self check out.

It depends upon the reason of going out. I used to go to work even if it is already Signal#3 in my country. That is already a typhoon with strong winds and rain. I really hate to go out in that weather but I don't have a choice since I need to go to work.
But most of the time when the weather is nasty and I don't have to go to work, I just stay at home. It is nice to eat a hot porridge and snuggle up in that kind of weather.

We need to go to work when it is typhoon signal #3 as well, we can only get to stay home when it is #8 or more.

If it is very windy, bitter cold, snowstorms or heavy rainfall I stay at home. It should be an emergency before I go out in terrible weather.

If I need to be somewhere, I have no problem going out, no matter what the weather. I learned to drive in the winter here, through the snowstorms and all, so driving in bad weather doesn't make me nervous or anything. I don't like going out when it's raining or snowing really hard, mainly because I know the traffic is going to be awful and it's going to take me probably twice as long to get anywhere. If I have a choice, though, I will always stay home on the lousy days.

I don't have any experiences driving in the snow so I definitely won't go out if it snows out, if it rains, it is okay.

If it is avoidable, I usually find it best not to go out when the weather is not ideal. I have a very low tolerance for extreme temperatures (hot or cold), and sometimes even 70 degrees will feel more like 50 to me.
I have made an exception in cases where going outside is simply unavoidable, such as one occasion when I volunteered for an outdoor event and it was freezing outside with very heavy winds (just two days ago it had been beautiful, in the high 70's - such as the random weather of North Carolina!) I didn't mind being outside then, oddly. I think it was because I was well distracted by all the things at the event that I was doing, so it sometimes turns out to be not so bad when my focus is elsewhere!
Be very careful when you go out alone without a car like that; hope it went well!

I had no tolerance for cold weather, I don't mind the hot weather so much, I love it actually.

It depends on whether or not I have things to do. Today, it's raining where I'm living, and I have classes to go to. So, I don't have much of a choice, but to leave my apartment and go to my classes. But if I don't have anywhere to go, usually I'll just stay home.

If there are important thing that I need to do outside my home. I go out despite the weather. I am not going to go on foot. I have a car and it will simply take care of my worry. If it rains, my car will protect me from getting wet

We get a lot of snow here so the "bad weather" is usually that. My car is great in the snow and rain, so I don't really mind going out in bad weather. I'm a type of person that doesn't like to just go out for anything though. I won't make a special trip to the store just to buy one thing.. I try to arrange all my trips to cover a lot of things!
