It snowed several more inches today and it is currently 1 degree Fahrenheit (-17 degrees Celsius).
Can you go outside in that? I have never experienced that temperature before.

It is nice right now 31.5C. But next Wednesday is forecast to be 40C again. :( I will stay inside that day.

Yes, you can go outside.
One usually wears clothing though.

I've done it without.

Sure, you can go outside in zero degree Fahrenheit weather with snow and be fairly comfortable if you are wearing a coat and snow boots.

A few years ago, my brother and sister-in-law brought their son here during his spring break because he had never seen snow or played in it.

I drove them up into the mountains to show them snow and let them snow sled down a good hill.  Then the next day, it snowed here and we got to build a snowman in the back yard.

The funny thing was, my nephew packed his own bag and brought mostly shorts, so I had to find some pants and a coat for him to wear to play in the snow.

I don't know if I would survive that because my inner thermostat is broken and I can't retain body heat (been like that since birth). I have had hypothermia twice and it doesn't get very cold here in WA!

But I still would really like to see snow. Would have to wear lots of layers though.

Your face gets cold, if you don't wear a scarf.
And I don't find scarves comfortable. Nose gets
really runny. And the air hurts to breathe. It's
wonderful.

I know someone who is sort of the same way, but she can't take the heat or she might get a heatstroke.  She can't sweat.

Here are some snowy mountain pictures for you:

Oh awesome pictures! :plus: for the snowman!

When I was born, I spent over a month in a humidicrib because every time I was taken out, my temperature would drop and I would have to be put back in again. It would be awful not to be able to sweat, though.

Another fucking fine day.  2.6C outside and light rain.  This is mid-day:

I sweat like a rapist, but I overheat very easily despite it.

Sure, you can go outside in zero degree Fahrenheit weather with snow and be fairly comfortable if you are wearing a coat and snow boots.

The worst conditions are what we get the most of here; the temperature hovering a little above freezing with no sun, plenty of wind and constant light rain that lasts for days.  When it's very cold, it's also very dry, which makes it very easy to keep warm, but when it's wet, everything gets soaked, even if you've got a full shell of goretex on.  When the outside of the goretex gets soaked, as it inevitably does when exposed to rain for long enough, it stops being breathable and your clothes very quickly get damp and all your heat is sapped away. 

It's impossible to use down jackets here for anything serious, since they'd get soaked and would be useless, even the ones with goretex outers, and while wool doesn't become quite as useless when wet, it still loses a lot of it's insulating ability in damp conditions.  Also, the moisture in the air greatly increases the air's ability to carry away heat, so the wind chill is particularly severe here.  I'd take a blizzard over rain any day, and the colder the dryer the warmer, at least until you get to silly-cold temperatures and assuming you have the right gear.

Like renaeden my internal thermostat is also bejiggered. However in the opposite direction; my body generates an inordinate amount of heat, which makes summers very unpleasant indeed.

I've worked outside in it for 8+ hours notwhat I'd call fun but not that unpleasant need a long hot soak after to warm back up


Raining here today somewhere around 40F/4C

Is THAT why I started sweating heavily?

I never used to. I was blaming it on all the tea.
