You're right that at some point it doesn't really feel colder, even though it is. Layering is the key. And you're right about wet cold weather being worse than below zero snow weather - once you're wet and cold you're screwed, whereas in below freezing I wear boat shoes and thick socks and I'm fine since the snow never melts on me and gets me wet.Hal said:But, North Americans, please don't complain! On this side of the Atlantic we are told to expect a winter like the awful last one - very windy, very wet, flooding likely, with high temperatures of 5-10C. Many of us would prefer real cold!
The coldest weather I've been in was many years ago in Norway's Hallingdal - minus 25C. But as it was still and sunny it actually felt quite pleasant - it was only if you were so silly as to touch something metallic with a bare finger-tip that you realised how cold it was.
