My eyelashes froze while I was waiting for the bus this morning.

Finally - proper winter weather.

I didn't see you standing at the bus stop with me at 6 AM this morning, pal.

[inulro.livejournal.com]

That's because proper winter weather is best dealt with as a spectator sport.

[marchenland.livejournal.com]

AMEN!

[miss-bontemps.livejournal.com]

This is entirely true. And with beer.

[megiddo-lj.livejournal.com]

No, proper winter weather is 25 degrees, sunny, and me in my flippy flops.

[vicki-sine.livejournal.com]

Well thar just sounds downright unpleasant.

[greylock.livejournal.com]

I am not sure that is possible.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Come visit.

[greylock.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a threat. :)

Not only possible, but a daily occurrence for several months of the year in Saskatchewan.

And people wonder why I don't live there any more.

Not only possible, but a daily occurrence for several months of the year in Saskatchewan.

Considering I met my daily sweat quota by 10am... I am interested.

Come visit.

Happened to me regularly as a kid walking to and waiting for the school bus. Eyelashes, nose hairs, and wet head hair all froze. Doesn't even have to be that cold (probably around -15°C).

[greylock.livejournal.com]

Part of me wants to move there.

[inulro.livejournal.com]

The stupid part.
(Don't mind me. I just really, really hate winter).

When people here start acting like society is going to grind to a halt because it's -5 I think about things like this.

And quit my bitching. :)

[inulro.livejournal.com]

Quite.

[ravensee.livejournal.com]

7 more weeks 'til Spring.

Did the liquid in your nose also freeze on every inhalation?

I hate that.

The eyelash thing is kinda cool, by contrast.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I had a kafia pulled up over my nose and my hat pulled down over my eyebrows - my eyes were the only thing showing.

[missjanette.livejournal.com]

maybe get some ski goggles?

I considered getting a pair my last winter in Chicago. NYC gets fucking cold, but not like Chi or Toronto.

brrrrr.

It's supposedly 27 (approx -2 C) degrees here, but I think that's bullshit. I had to bust out my sleepingbag coat this week.

[sloot.livejournal.com]

I discovered that I can (essentially) see through my scarf if it's light enough out.

Streetlamps provide almost enough light.

Fucking T'ronno is how i learned to wash my hair at night in the winter, never in the morning. [crinkle.] [crunch.]

I rode to work yesterday, and if not for the wind, it would have been fine. :) It was around -11C on the way there w/o windchill, but I checked once I got home in the evening and it was -12C but -22C with windchill. Stupid wind.

[miss-bontemps.livejournal.com]

This weather is downright fucking rude.

[billyname99.livejournal.com]

That.

That is why I moved to the desert.

It will get down to freezing at night here, but it only snows once every 18-20 YEARS.

The whole freezing-icy-snowy-Weather thing is best viewed from a good long distance.

I went out to feed the alpacas a couple of days ago, and they all had frosted eyelashes...

[nicklausse.livejournal.com]

Friend of mine ran a half marathon in Virginia today with his "eyelids frozen shut." In Virginia!

[rbowspryte.livejournal.com]

I hate the cold and I hate winter but strangely I like several of those sensations like frozen hair and eyelashes.
