I love waking up during winter underneath really warm and comfy covers, yet not sweating like a pig.
This is such a stupid idea and possibly dangerous. Do not walk barefoot in the snow unless you like frostbite.

In Arizona it's hot right now. No winter for us.

Winter here is THE SAME OLD FUCKING SHIT in the day [img]http://cache.virtualtourist.com/3595207-Riyadh_from_Four_Seasons_Room-Riyadh.jpg[/img] [I]Saudi Arabia right there.[/I] But at night and sometimes early morning (during winter) . . . it's fucking freezing. We [I]never[/I] have decent weather. It's always at either side of the extreme.
I've lived in the Midwest for almost fourteen years now. It can be about 78 degrees on Monday, then 4 degrees below on Wednesday. I don't think I need these instructions. :v:
Nice little Guide you got there,Especially with swine flu,The heat kills That shit the cold doesn't do shit to it.

I don't ever leave my basement, so I use my Weather widget to tell me what time of year it is.
[QUOTE=Deadollie;18259284]I just wear jeans, t-shirt and a trechcoat no matter what the weather and my body tempreture never seems to change. I's cool like that.[/QUOTE] Leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and a fedora for me. If I'm feeling classy I'll put on a button up shirt and maybe a tie.

The cold used to bother me now I don't give a shit. Seriously, don't worry about it and you won't be so cold.
I live in Dallas. So there's the slightest chance of snow. We've had it before, but that was just one of those winters where we got lucky. The most I can expect is a very cold winter.

burrrr. 81 degrees in Florida
Yeah nice guide especially how you convince people to lay down in the fucking thing they're trying to keep out(SNOW) Especially considering you can get hypothermia in seconds.
[QUOTE=Subhazardman;18259019] Stage 5: (When it actually snows) Try to see how long you can walk around barefoot in the snow. Trust me, you'll build up an endurance. Lay down in the snow, see how long you can do that (surprisingly long, actually) [/QUOTE] This is an awful idea and you should feel bad for recommending people to do it.
I am wearing no shirt, just boxers and some pants right now, and it is 64F in my room. :smug: [editline]12:56PM[/editline] and I'm sweating
Take of your shirt and have a snowball fight. With clubs.

I have a really warm Nightwish jacket [IMG]http://www.moremusic.fi/jpics/NW_Miesten_Takki.jpg[/IMG] Oh ok, sorry I lied...
I walk around in summer clothing all winter, and I don't remember the last time I went anywhere wearing a long sleeve shirt even when its snowing out. I've got this heavy-duty army jacket that has hidden pockets that I put chemical pocket + glove warmers in for emergencies, along with a spare pair of gloves. It pays to be prepared :clint:
snow should go away after december 31st.
Walking outside in the cold with your feet bare can be extremely dangerous especially if you do not wear a shirt or anything else. This is horrible advice.

Step 1: Buy a radiator. Step 2: Turn it on, get in bed, and turn on the TV.
You guys are all wimps. Don't rate me dumb because you're afraid of getting frostbite. It takes a while before you actually -get- frostbite, far after your feet go numb. I think the average person is apt enough to know when it's time to warm their feet up. I would know, I lived in Michigan for 10 years. I'm not going to 'feel bad' for recommending this. Grow some damn balls. This thread'll put hair on your chest. And fuck, get out of your own element, people do this all the time.
Protip: when buying an electric heater, you want one that produces a lot of warm air, rather than a puff of burning air. Reason being is that you can warm up your hands without getting burned and it seems like more air. It will still heat up your room just as well. Fan forced air heaters are quicker than radiator style as well. Make sure to blow out the dust before every heating season. Look for one that has wide fan blades. Also, make sure your electric circuit powering the heater isn't loaded heavily, as in North America most circuits are 15-20 amps at 120 volts, and heaters can take up to 13 amps. Computers and such will take a few of the remaining amps up, and you can potentially trip your breaker or blow a fuse. Also, DON'T USE SHITTY LAMP EXTENSION CORDS! The wiring is undergauge for the purpose of electric heating and can cause a fire. I would recommend nothing less than a heavy duty 12 gauge cord, as it won't get warm unlike a 14 or less gauge cord. I keep my electric heater on in the winter at a comfortable 72-75F and look out at the snow and laugh. Another tip: Clean your car battery terminals before winter (look up instructions from multiple sources) to ensure good contact so your car can start. Batteries produce less voltage when they're cold and you want as much power from them in winter as possible. Look in your car manual to see if you will have to unlock your radio etc afterward if you have a fairly modern car. Using synthetic oil can also help, as it doesn't sludge up like regular oil allowing your car to start easier. Have an ice scraper in your car, they're cheap and they really help.
