What do you do when the weather is too cold for you?
open the curtains to let the sun shine in- turn on the heater- light the fire- make some stew and read a book to the kiddos who are cozy in three layers of clothing... i love the cold/ hate the heat, so have no wonderful advice... Good Luck

that's why I live in Florida!
although temperatures below 50 F feel cold to me. but it's bearable. we light a fire in the fireplace, wear sweaters and boots and scarves just like those in northern climates,
and know it won't last too long.. at least it stays sunny!
sending some sunshine and warmth~~I have fleece-y, cuddly stuff for cold weather. A fleece head band designed to cover my ears, A fleece and cotton tube thing-y to keep my neck warm, I can work in fingerless gloves so I have them too, and of course there are fleece blankets to snuggle under (notice any sort of trend here?). With the neighbours downstairs having the heating on and good warm gear we have not had to turn the heating on yet this year
If I am at home I just stay in bed... lol
I am both too lazy and too cold to get out of bed when is dark and cold, so just bring my laptop with me and spend all day warm and cozy under the covers!
Las week I was in England -the lake district- it was freezing. When we arrived they needed a man an a lady to push open the Hotel's door. Honestly I felt like staying in bed the whole weekend but the children and husband push me out to do our lake tour bbbrrrrrr. Did you ever think your fingers could fall off with the cold once your nails are blue??? Next time I'll visit during the summerNobody mentioned tea yet? In winter months, I drink a lot of tea to keep warm. You can't over-dose on the caffein in green tea
Also, move around inside the house. I've noticed that relying on my laptop to warm up will only do so for my lap. Walking up and down the stairs will improve your circulation. Besides, better brain circulation could mean better productivity: you might come up with a new and interesting hub idea!- Home Girlposted 14 years ago

...i chuckled at some of the posts about how cold some of you are...
...heck! I lived in an area that would dip to -40C...and thought at one point that -25C was okay for outdoor activities....it was actually the best temp for dogsledding....fur works really well for that kind of cold.....so cold that when you walked all you could hear was the squeek, squeek sound of the cold, cold snow beneath your boots
...i actually miss it sometimes.....i should write a hub on it...when -15C rolled around, i'd be getting rid some of my heavy winter gear and feelin' like spring was in the air...with lighter clothes on...my boots were able to handle
-80C!
...now I live where I can ride my motorcyle all year round...I ride as long the temp doesn't dip below say 3C...i plug in my electric jacket and blast on down the road...can't go dogsledding anymore though...miss that too!Ah...the good old Canadian winter eh? I guess we have a tendency to gloat a bit, at braving such cold temps from time to time. Not that we're calling the rest of you temperate dwellers 'weenies' or nothin'.
Actually it doesn't get that cold much anymore. Maybe for a week or two in January or February. You just need to dress accordingly (in layers).
I don't mind the freezing cold, as long as it's not really windy as well. In that case, you just walk with your back against the wind..backwards if you have to. It makes you brave and rugged, you know..or something. 
Hi SOHHaha timorous your reply made me laugh - Chicagoans tend to gloat about braving harsh Chicago winters too!
This might sound so bizarrely random, but I've tried it myself and it works: whenever my feet are super cold, I sprinkle some red pepper flakes into a pair of socks and put them on. Your feet will be toasty and warm in seconds!
I'm also a fan of hot cups of tea (or hot cocoa! But mostly tea) to warm me up.
Also, if I get home super cold or drenched (from rain or snow), I like to take a hot shower to warm up pretty quickly ... most likely followed by a cup of tea.
Hope this helps and you're staying warm!- Pachuca213posted 14 years ago0
