How's the Weather There?

That's the temp inside my kitchen. With stone floors and counters...I could preserve a Wooly Mamouth in there.

Wow, that's cold!! Do you turn the heater on to warm it up a bit? I have a friend who refuses to turn on the heat because of the increased cost to her bill. It was cold in her house and it wasn't even this cold. She's real thrifty. :beaten:

It's a bit better now. I do heat in the room I spend most of my time in while at home but it's so consistently cold these days I'm thinking of firing up the heater just cuz it's pretty uncomfortable in the mornings. Burr...

I hear what you're saying. I guess it's all relative. My friend told me how someone she knows came out here from the freezing climate recently and was joyously wearing short sleeves. :beaten:

LOL! Yea, I've seen that. It's like when I went to Switzerland in the mountains in a t-shirt and there were tourists from texas in full blown snowsuits. :beaten:

I only complain when the temps drop below 68F and my hands and feet start going numb.

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Surely your hands and feet don't REALLY go numb at 65F. That's our spring weather, when flowers start to grow and the world turns green again. :woot:

Or mebbe your hands and feet do. We're all used to our own temps. :)

It's not an exaggeration at all... My body seems to be set up for tropical weather. :beaten:

It's because you only have 3 blood vessels and none of them is close to the skin.

That's just a rumor spread by fellow reptiles.

LOL! I'll join the club. I have really cold hands and feet all through the year. Apparently I have really bad blood circulation, hence it usually takes a few pokes and an hour to take blood from my body during a check up. :crazy:

SoCal'ers are use to it being near or above 70F even in Jan on occasion and when it does dip like it has the past week, low 50 temps during the day can seem like freezing. Early morning hours at near 40F-45F seems quite chilly.
We really are accustomed to 2 seasons here, and when it does get chilly, we are slower to adjust than others.
What is comfortable and normal for this time of year, I'd guess High 68F, low 54F give or take.

A cold blooded one! :ashamed:

Got another 5 inches of snow today. But it's suppose to be in the 40s all week, so lots of melting again.

I only have the problem when the ambient is below 70F... I'm perfectly fine late spring, summer, and early fall. :victory:

Are cold hands and feet a sign of bad circulation or just a symptom of the weather? :headscratch:

Yea there was no snow woot Raining and heavy winds and mid 50 not bad I can handle that :woot:

Raining all day today.

I have cold hands & feet, but have never been told I have poor circulation. :sweat:

Now that I think about it, I would think it's a good sign: your body knows it's cold and reduces the blood flow to your extremities and keeps the warm blood circulating in the critical core areas and your brain... :victory:

Can't be because of the weather because my hands and feet are cold all year around. It's only winter here between November and March.

It prolly isn't. I only came to the conclusion for myself because I DO have bad circulation. Or so the nurse says. :beaten: So I figure that's prolly the reason why my hands and feet are perpetually cold.

And socks. :victory:

46F at the moment. :sweat:

But the days are starting to get longer: it's no longer pitch black when I get into work at 6:15am and it's still light out around 6pm... :victory:

Nice day, sunny and in the 40s.
