[QUOTE=Hilarity N. Suze] Humidity makes it feel _colder_. If you don’t believe me, move to Oklahoma. (Much easier to just believe me.) [/QUOTE] Or you could move to San Francisco. On one of those foggy days, the thermometer says it’s not all that cold, but it sure feels cold. ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] You get a week! Lucky bastards! Here, if Spring falls on a Sunday, we skip church. [/QUOTE] I didn’t realize you live in the north east or west. We had a real spring one year. It was odd. I’m used to spring being the week it stops snowing, but doesn’t yet hit 70 or black fly season. ---

Can someone explain this “cold” thing? I’m not getting it. ---

[QUOTE=Squink] I hope that’s °Kelvin. I’d be happy with 273.15. [/QUOTE] Impossible. There’s no such thing as degrees in Kelvin. It was 273K when I left my house this morning, but 270 when I got up the hill. I’m wearing flip flops. ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] Thank you for sharing. Please rot in hell at your earliest convenience. [/QUOTE] For wearing flip flops and a t-shirt when everybody else has their winter boots and down coats on, because it’s 0C, 32F, and/or 273K outside? :eek: ---

I’m pretty sure there’s a Jack Chick treatise on the certain damnation that awaits the wearer of flip-flops. ---

Yeah? Well you’ll take my flipflops when you pry them off my cold, dead feet. Oh… wait. Yeah, so, anyway. Back to the OP. I can’t wait for warmer weather either! Neither can my 3 big dogs who are dying for a walk. Normally I would bundle up and get my ass out there no matter what the temperature, but I have a newborn baby at home now. If it would just get up to 40-ish, we’d all bundle up and go for a walk in the park. But the damn weather is too cold and the wind chill today is nasty! Stupid winter. (I can’t believe I just posted that. For a girl whose hometown is Saskatoon, I’m getting awfully soft living down south here in Missouri. Oh, well, I’ll just blame it on the baby…) ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] I’m pretty sure there’s a Jack Chick treatise on the certain damnation that awaits the wearer of flip-flops. [/QUOTE] In other words, those who subscribe to crazy belief cast damnation onto people who wear flip flops all year, so they can innocently pretend it’s summertime when it’s freezing balls outside? ---

Look if you’re too lazy or too squeamish to inject your balls with ethelyne glycol, then you deserve to have them freeze! ---

It warmed up here today. 35°F. The plumbing goo that some jackass spread around the threads for the garden faucet back in 1935 finally cracked. Water everywhere. Give me back Winter! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/is-it-can-be-summer-tiem-now-pleez/434079.md?page=2)
