Yup... i love the cold weather... after months of enduring unbearable heat... now we have this welcome cold atmosphere all around... i just wonder when this will last... and summer will again bring that humid heat that makes us all go crazy... i would love to lay in bed all day... no need to turn on the ac or electric fan... so i am expecting a decrease in my electricity bill... Are you also loving this cold?... no offense to those living in extremely cold countries... but weather like this is so rare here...

I super love the cold weather now here in our country. It makes me want to exercise more and more. It makes me want to go home early so i can be on bed right after eating and just watch TV, or do FB or play a game on my cellphone. But most of all i like cuddling up with my husband while we watch TV or DVD or play with Talking Tom.

It is an apps for an Android phone, where you can play with a talking cat. It mimics all that you have to say, even the slightest sound that you make. You can rub at his tummy and it would slowly sleep. It's a nice way to be entertained through a phone. Yes, in this cold weather, it is very good to do some chores because you will not sweat a lot.

I just wish this would last longer as I welcome it as well. The cold spell made things easier since it is dry and cold in my place so I am not sweating and the breeze is just so conducive to sleeping. It is indeed a rare treat for us here in Manila to have this cold but not so wet weather.

Yes it is indeed a treat for us here in Manila having this kind of climate. I am enjoying it especially early morning breeze where the air is somewhat fresh. It is nice to stroll or jog around the neighborhood with this kind of temperature. But as I have heard this may last until the end of February or may even extend till March.

It has been 2 days now that we have been sleeping without turning on the electric fan... and during the day... we turn it on only during the afternoon... so i am really hoping for a decrease in our electricity bill... i am also hoping that this cold spell would last longer... or even a year... Thanks for the response...

We don't get so cold that it snows (except on top of the mountains which is pretty) but something unusual all this week was rain. I did go out to pick some lemons today and got caught in a sudden downpour. It was fun.

I lived in a place where it did not rain for a year... that was very odd for me because i was so used to none stop rain for weeks during the monsoon season... right now, the cold is slowly leaving... and the heat is catching up... well... time to fix the electric fan and air conditioning... Thanks for the response...

It is cold now in Baguio but here in Davao, terrific weather we experience everyday. Last night, I was amazed because the wind was cold and fresh. Now, very hot outside

I also have the same mentality until I actually experienced living in USA for so many years. I remember getting excited seeing the snow for the first time, that I opened the door of our apartment in the middle of a snowstorm just to touch the powdery snow. But as days passed, it also became mundane and the freezing cold is not that really enjoyable. If you experience opening up your ref and the freezer and putting your hand inside it for awhile until it starts to get red, thats how cold it is. The snow that builds up either will become ice if the weather continues to be below zero, which makes the street slippery. If the weather becomes warmer or worse it starts to rain, the snow will become mushy and turns to mud, which is both ugly and slippery. You will end up spending more too as you have to pay for the heat and electricity.

That is what my friends and family living in Canada are saying... they were so excited to see and experience snow for the first time that they didn't mind the cold... they went out to play and simply enjoy it while they can... but after weeks of extreme cold, snow shoveling, piles and piles of clothes that need to be worn... they realized how much they love the warm weather... well... that goes to show... we only appreciate the things in our lives when they are already gone... Thanks for the response...

Me too! I feel like I'm the only one who enjoys cold weather, but I do. I hate the heat, and I hate the humidity. I cannot stand how hot it gets. The cold is much more welcome to me than the heat. I hate that winter doesn't last as long as summer seems to last.

I agree... the cold hear would last til February... the it will be hot from March until November... seems so unfair... because that would mean nine months of sweating non stop... and i really hate that... Thanks for the response...

I am different. I don't like the cold weather. I can't enjoy the outdoor activities like swimming in winter. I feel frozen and I need to make myself warm. I have to wear a lot. I wish I could hibernate and don't have to go to work in the freezing day. This is very suffering.

You must be living with this cold weather for a long time now... we rarely get this here in my country... the good thing is that we can still go swimming in the afternoon because that is when the cold disappears... Thanks for the response...

I always lov ethe cold weather. Same with your thoughts of doing while it's there, let me add just crouching in the couch watching TV or movies, eating something warm. Everything delivered to home. hehehe. I miss this. No worries, I am not offended now that I am experiencing a negative 15 now in my city. I just wish I don't have to work outside later. Good thingthere is myLot to accompany me inside. Let's have a hot chocolate!

I love the cold weather too here in our country. I don't like the feeling of sweat especially when I have to go from place to another place so I take tricycle. But during this weather, I can walk instead of riding a vehicle if we have this kind of weather. That's the reason why I love it in Baguio City. I like the weather there.

The ac of my van is currently broken... we don't have the budget to get it fixed... so this cold weather is really welcome... since we don't really need the ac when riding it... and i hope this cold spell would last a little longer... even for a year... Thanks for the response...

I am so sorry to hear that... i did not mean to sound so insensitive to the pain of others... it did not occur to me that this cold weather could also bring excruciating pain to others like you... Thanks for the response...

I'm loving it too. I am actually thinking of going to Baguio to get more coldness, but of course doing that means more money to spend and so I just satisfy myself with the coldness I get in here during night time. I hope this will last a little longer in me (I say in me co's I don't want to be selfish to those who doesn't like it like my mom-in-law). Uh, I don't want to think of summer yet. I want to enjoy this moment of coldness... a little coldness in our place. hahaha.

It has been like 10 years now since i went to Baguio... my friends say it is three times as cold there... maybe next year my family can go for a short trip... but that would have to be during the summer since my kids might not be able to bear extreme cold...

I do love this kind of weather even though it gives me rashes (weird, right?)than having to endure the heat of summer. According to the weather bureau, this cold weather will be experienced until February.
