Still in Celsius, +15 degrees and people here will put on a heavy coat, sometimes over their shorts. At +5 add a ski mask and snow boots, in case the annual flake decides to blow by.
Interesting...
Here's another comment from a guy who also lived in Austin:
"In Austin, please say… 'It's not cold, it's allergies!' .The sentence is usually punctuated by a few sniffles & terminated by a sneeze."
Annual flake, Eh?
I liked that!
Replace Norwegians w/ Minnesotans, and you're close...
-10c Minnesotans start to plug their cars into the wall (block heater)
-20c Minnesotans start to wear winter coats
-30c Minnesotans start to drive their cars to the store, as it's a bit nippy to walk.
-38c Pregnant moms in Minnesota break down and ask for a ride to the hospital, despite the "tough it out" and "don't ask for help" attitudes
-49c Real Minnesotans are born. Like JohnnyB (-56f)
