you knkow it's cold when...

...the unopened container of long life soy milk sitting on the kitchen floor is colder than it would be if it had been put in the fridge last nite.
it's soooo cold! it got down to 2.7C last nite (below freezing including the wind chill). i think that's the coldest nite so far this winter. yesterday morning was only a bit warmer and it was -1.7C with the wind chill when i went to walk up the road at 8:30 in the morning (weird having to put on multiple layers, gloves, scarf and winter jacket just to walk 2 blocks from here to babysit for the day.
despite living in canada most of my life i don't do well with cold. i blame california (even though i lived in the mountains of sothern cali and we still got snow a couple times during the winters). after that i just never reclimatized to canada in the year i was back there and then with melbourne's extremes i just never get used to the cold after the nice hot summers. i've always got more layers on than anyone else i'm around and i'm always the first to complain that its cold (and everyone's response is "but you're canadain!"). i'm going to attempt to layer up now to make the trek out to mcleod to watch the stanley cup finals on cable at zac's sister's house. the freezing cold will make it just like being at the game 8)

Sounds like you need to move to Perth. We've just had our coldest ever minimum of -0.7.

It hardly ever gets down that low. We've been having daytime temperatures around 22 degrees and they call this winter.
