Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

    If you think 48F is freezing you try spending time in actual cold weather where its actually below the freezing point of water.

      I changed the title to cold snap so you can take down the gate, grandpa. And just for the record, 45° is cold when you are dressed as a princess wearing tights or Spider-Man in a thin suit from Target.

          Hey, good on you for being pretty cool about things overall. I like that about lemmy, we all seem to ultimately want to understand each-other and get along.

            Yeah tell that to the people who keep spewing propaganda without stopping to think. I’ve had to leave a few communities because all of the content was so pessimistic. (This is part of the reason I am now trying to be more friendly online. We don’t need to fight hate with hate)

      We get that in Indiana too, but it’s pretty difficult to adjust to a 30 - 40 degree drop in temperature over a short period of time. We get into the negatives (especially in the north where I am), but it’s usually a gradual drop throughout winter.

      Never really understood gate-keeping being cold though, kinda weird.

        Thanks for your comment…gatekeeping nowadays is old and annoying.

        45° F is cold for trick or treating and that’s before wind chil

        Yeah I went back and read me comment and it is a little silly. I guess it just depends on where you are. I grew up with bitter cold Halloweens so 48 sounds nice.
