So our weather is finally warming up here in Winnipeg, up in Canada. Last week we had weather of -50C with the wind chill. That is just crazy. I certainly didn't go outside because I didn't have to, but since I smoke in the garage even that wasn't worth it so I smoked less. Now today and the last couple days have warmed up to about -15C and that feels warm after those cold days. Now I can go outside to take a walk because it feels so good. Now isn't that crazy, because for some people that is still really cold, but after last week it feels warm. So what is the weather like where you live? Do you get really cold weather like we do? Or is it still too cold for you if it gets down to -15C? I hate winter and I can't wait till summer, but then it gets way too hot and muggy here. What are your summers like?

Hello! I've been wanting to experience a little bit of that cold weather you speak of,( just for a little bit!) however living in Miami Florida, I cannot expect anything lower than 45F and that's extremely cold for us. This February has been one of the warmest on record, so there has been no real winter here this year. Summer will be sizzling from the looks of things!

I live in Georgia (USA). It was beautiful and sunny yesterday with a high of somewhere in the 60's F. I am not sure what the translates into Celsius. But, over night, it got cold and I woke up to a really hard rain, lightening and thunder. The rain was hitting my window so hard I thought it sounded like hail but, I don't think it was cold enough for that. Now it is 40 F something and it is cold and very windy. The winters sort of vary here. We do get into the teens a couple days out of the winter. For the most part, our temps waver between the 20's and 50's F all winter with occasional colder and warmer days. We had an unusual winter this year with 2 hard snows. And, yes. They were hard. I am originally from Ohio so, I know a hard snow. It wasn't just a light dusting. We actually got about 5 inches one day. Not anywhere near as bad as the Ohio winters I experienced 10 years ago (or the New York ones when I would visit my then boyfriend, now hubby). But, given the fact that Georgia is not really all that equiped to handle snow, what we got was pretty substantial. The summers are really hot. We spent about a week or two last summer in never ending 100 plus degree F heck! It was too hot. And, it is a muggy heat. No dry heat here. So, when it is that hot, you walk out of your door and start dripping with sweat the second you walk out. They actually suggest that we stay in doors during those high temperatures to protect our skin. But, I am looking forward to our temperatures staying at a nicer, warmer temps soon. I don't want anymore of this 60-70 F one day, 30-40 F the next. It isn't healthy!

Here in Singapore it is alwys warm and humid, that's because Singapore is situted very near to the equator. The only time the wether is slightly different is during the monsoon seson, and that's when it gets really rainy and stormy.

We had very bad gales here in the South of UK last night which kept me up along with a naughty mouse wandering around in my bedroom, giving me a restless disturbed night. It was dry here today but the winds were still pretty strong. It didn't deter me from walking 5 miles which I enjoyed, I love the fresh air and this time of the year I need as much sunlight as possible to help me deal with SAD. It is very mild for Winter and so far, touch wood no snow.

We are having a winter storm. We are expecting 8 to 12 inches today. It seems like we are having storms about every 2 to 3 days. It is strange, one day it might be high winds and thunderstorms, the next time it is freezing rain, and then snow. It is crazy!

Oh we moved out west this year to get away from the snow. I hear there is a winter storm warning back on Ohio today. We rarely got in the minus in the winter, but hated the cold all the same, plus I always took a tumble at least once on the ice every single winter. One nice thing about the snow was on those days when there was snow on the ground, the temperature was just right for being out for sled riding or a walk. Now summers here are when we stay inside - got to 117 F degress last July and that was miserable.
