What is your favorite thing to do on a cold winter's day?

[Bigoldogsmiles]

I woke up this morning to a very cold -43 c outside with the windchill. Needless to say, I will be staying in where it is safe. I will probably spend a good part of my day in the kichen, doing some crosswords and on a little self care. It left me wondering what do all of you do to help pass a cold winter's day?

Yikes! I have a friend in Canada so I never complain about what I think is cold.

I'm going to shovel my beautiful snowfall soon. Once that is done it's hunker down with a book and hang out with my little 🦔.

Stay warm

Thank you Dolphin14. Canada does indeed have very extreme temperatures in some parts of the country. Very cold in winter to very hot in summer.

My friend just messaged me and said it's brutal.

I hate telling her I have 7 inches of snow. That's a beach day for you guys

[Bigoldogsmiles in reply to Dolphin14]

Yes. For sure it's brutal. It's very dangerous to be out in this weather for any length of time. Best to stay in.

-43° C has to be with wind chill. that’s life threatening weather.

[Bigoldogsmiles in reply to litethatnevergoesout]

Hi Litethatnevergoesout,Yes. It is with the wind chill. And yes, it is life threatening if not properly prepared for it. Not to mention the real possibility of frostbite.

It's cold here but not that cold. Clearly the local Park "flasher" thinks its cold because I hear he's keeping his long coat firmly buttoned up and describing himself to his victims 😉

Wow thats really cold. Pretty cold here in midwest but not that bad! -15c here. Ill just go about my normal routine bundled up! Need to see my sis in nursing home. Good to get the car warmed up. Then ill probably just come back and sit and read and knit and perhaps spin a bit. I have such a backlog of fleece ill never catch up.

[Bigoldogsmiles in reply to Gillyflower18]

That sounds lovely! If it was -15c here, I would probably bundle up and go for a walk. -15c is bearable for me. Thanks for your response!

[Gillyflower18 in reply to Bigoldogsmiles]

I cant believe they closed the schools here. That would never have happened when we were kids! We are raising a whole gerneration of pampered wimpy kids🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today is the coldest day this winter. I'm just going to walk on my treadmill, wait for my new washer to be delivered, and try to write. As soon as I can get my butt out of bed.

[Bigoldogsmiles in reply to LadyZen]

It sounds like a lovely peaceful day! Thank you for sharing

The low is 12 degrees here in Northern Virginia.

[Bigoldogsmiles in reply to Starrlight]

Is that cold for your area? I am not familiar but it sounds like it.

[Starrlight in reply to Bigoldogsmiles]

It’s not typical for our winters to be this cold. There was a severe weather alert for our area sent out today.
