With the wind chill in Chicago it was like -24°F (-31°C) this past weekend. Absolutely brutal, and my fucking dog is so picky about where she pees so I spent 15 mins each in the AM and PM walking her about.
It was +6°F this morning and that felt pretty balmy by comparison.

I literally can’t imagine how cold it is. Like, I’ve never felt such cold, I can’t relate how bad it is.
It’s 36°C here

You have to mentally prepare yourself before you go outside. Yeah, a heavy coat, hat and all that but you have to get your mind straight before the cold hits your skin and lungs. Howling wind doesn’t help either. It’s tough.

-10°c isn’t so bad, it was the lower limit at which I would go running with just a spring coat and jogging pants…
-25°c is where it starts to be painful to go outside.

Once you get acclimated to the cold it’s not so bad if you layer up. But those first few weeks when the temperatures start dipping below 50°F I always shiver pretty hard

Same, I’d rather be hot than cold but at the extremes at least you can layer up when it’s cold.
