Not that bad, but yeah, for Texas that's really cold. Haha, if it was 34* in MN people would be out in shorts and t-shirts because its not that cold for us.


Same here.
Canadians are equipped with a cold tolerance that is only rivaled be people from Finland and the like.
We do not take shit from mother nature.
Me and several friends once had a man-off where we went outside on the coldest day in the last forty years for all of Canada wearing nothing but boxers. We all eventually got bored because apparently our bodies gave zero shits about the -40 degree celsius temperature and ended up going inside to watch movies and play video games.

Ain't no party like a Canuck party.

It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

But how would you handle 110* heat with 90% humidity?

I look at my forecast for the next 2 weeks, and it is all rain with temps in the high 30s. :( A little colder and it would be snow! I wish it were colder.

A few summers ago there were a few days in a row where the temperature was 45 desgrees, plus the humidex factor which made it about 55 degrees.
Plus I was standing two feet from a running tractor engine in a corn field doing grueling manual labour.
Canada is interesting in that way.
We tend to get mega cold winters and fairly hot muggy summers.
So, though I have a champion level cold tolerance, I can also manage in sweltering heat waves if need be.

love how you seem to think half the temp he named is a sweltering heat wave.
gives a good idea of how well you would handle 110 though if you consider 55 hot.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I'm sure he is, but its still not accurate. The highest temp ever recorded in canada was 45° celsius and that was in 1937.
Also 55° celsius would be like 130° fahrenheit. It does not get that hot in canada.

And in the last 30 years(pretty sure affray is in his 20's) the three highest temps recorded were 42.8°, 41.2° and 40.3° celsius.

I think our resident cannuck doth protest too much.

Please, please can I steal the warmth? I have the heating on, a hoodie and gloves but I still can't get warm. I REQUIRE HUGS FROM PEOPLE THAT AREN'T CATS.

Cats don't have enough surface area to exchange their body heat.
