Yeah but I am always hot most people think I am crazy when I wear shorts in January.

I know women like that. They sit in the livingroom fanning themselves with the ceiling fan on and the furnace at 64 degrees on a 10 degree winter day.
Then they tell me there is something wrong with me when I say I am cold.

My wife is like you NO. She is always cold. When I go to sleep I turn the heat off open windows she freezes. I offer to close the windows but she said being cold is better then you getting all sweaty and ruining the sheets.

Haha I don't like her way of thinking cause I'd rather be comfortable with ruined sheets than have pnemonia

Mauritius, 60 to 70 F, but quite cold lately. Some kind of anticyclone nearby... Specialists expect the lowest temperature to reach 40 F this winter, the lowest Mauritius has ever had.

We have a tempurpedic bed. That thing just keeps your body heat right on you. If we didn't have that bed I wouldn't need to open the windows. It get unbearably hot in the middle of the night.

I'm sorry for saying this, but I think that your crazy for wearing shorts in jaunary. :p but what kind of temperature is it in January where you live?

What are these shorts things you all are talking about? ;)

I'm in Canada, Alberta to be exact. It snowed yesterday, snowing today, tomorrow it's supposed to be 13 degrees Celsius, 21degrees by Saturday. I'll be in shorts come Saturday.

The saying here is 10 months of winter, 2 months of construction. ;)

Holy crap! I would go crazy because of all the snow. I can handle a few months, but 11! Holy cow!!

Well that's just the joke. ;)

Actually we usually have snow come October, November at the latest and it usually lasts until around March. But, it starts getting chilly in September, jackets, boots, mitts and doesn't really warm up enough to go sans jacket until May.

Alberta really isn't that bad considering other Canadian provinces and our summers are nice, really hot.

The sad thing right now, my tulips are in full bloom and it's snowing. There's something really wrong with that. ;)

I meant 10 sorry about that. And about the tullips, there so pretty in my opinion and so are orchads.

Love the tulips, sadly they don't like the snow, they're not fairing so well. You'd think they'd be used to it by now. ;)

I have a few perennials in my front planting area, but I prefer to change it up every year so I usually go with annuals.

The rule is never to plant until after the May long weekend. Well, that was this last weekend and here it is snowing. So much for that rule. ;)

I'll wait until mid June this year.

That would be a good idea about waiting until June. Poor flowers. Snow is so cruel! :p

In Philly anywhere between 40 degrees all the way down to 20 degrees. My football coach in high school always wore shorts he said it was mind over matter so I started that also. Sometimes the matter over takes the mind though.

LOL! Ok, spitevenom, you football coach is a strong person at mind :p

Alty, I bet all these weird things about temperature and season is linked with global warming... It is said that even if the gas emissions are stopped, the Earth will still warm up due to that excess of carbon dioxide. :(

Yeah I went to a gardening class the other week and the girl said they want to change the planting guidelines for where I live from a zone 5 to a zone 6 because of global warming.
I didn't know if I should laugh or cry cause we have global cooling and nobody seems to see it. It use to be HOT from Easter to Labor day. Now we are lucky if June and July get hot.

Everywhere is getting hotter in summer and colder in winter :( The temperature gaps are widening... Come to it, my physics teacher once mentioned that Mauritius have had snow, in the form of hail :eek:(is that like ice balls?) Well, that was a year or two ago but it was short lived.

You've never seen hail Unky? OMG! You truly live in paradise.
