Brrrrr!! 😱 Where are you, if you don't mind me asking?
@see_the_sus I truly don't think I've EVER known it to be this cold here.
I wondered as I don't think I've ever heard it getting that cold in the UK.
Are you letting your faucets trickle water so they don't freeze?
@see_the_sus Plus, my other half comes from Chicago so he thinks I'm a weakling for complaining about it!
@Florence @see_the_sus Ha. I went to HS in Minneapolis before climate change. Snow would forgo MN and drop in IL where it was warmer. Every year Chicago had to borrow snow removal equipment from Mpls, like it was some big surprise. (But I admit that UK cold is very damp, so it has a different feel.)
@Notokay @see_the_sus It really IS a different 'cold', you're absolutely right.
@see_the_sus @Notokay I can imagine. I feel ya though as I've spent most of my life switching between one country or continent after another! My childhood was very peripatetic and so I think it's in my genes now!
@Florence @see_the_sus Another peripatetic childhood and young adulthood here, both international and stateside! My favorite question (not): "Where are you from?"
@Notokay @see_the_sus Mine too! I usually just say, hopefully enigmatically, 'I'm International'. I dislike that question because where we are 'from' varies in meaning from person to person in as much as I still think of NYC as 'home' as I was born there but have spent more time in CA and WY and Chicago. Sometimes I feel more British. With me it varies from day to day!
