What do you consider balmy? And is plastic melting?

Balmy == 22 or higher (that's Celsius, round about 80ish farenheit). That's balmy. Once it gets above 30 I start going crazy.

But that's here. In Tokyo the summers would go above 40 and it didn't bother me too much. On the other hand, the winters went down to 5 and I was FREEZING! This after dealing with -50 weather in Calgary.

Temperature is weird.

Temperature is weird.

Yep. It really depends on what you've gotten used to. The fifth 100+ day (F) in a row never seems as hot as the first, and mid-winter seems less cold than the rest. Or maybe it's just me.

All very true. And yet nothing in the world is as cold as February.

February sucks. As soon as January ends, I'm just waiting for March.

 

[Arc]

Well, there's snow in February. Which means skiiing. 'Course, there's snow in January, and March, and December too...
Yeah, February sucks.

 

[Crothian]

It's the humidity that gets to me. I don't mind the high temps, but the thick air and lack of breeze is tough.

I like Febuary, it's usually a good, cold month filled with snow and fun.

 

[Arc]

Hmmm... I'm 30 minutes off the coast, so humidity and lack of breeze is never the problem. A guy in my group just came back from Indiana. His words: "I never realized how much I miss paradise [the north bay]"

February is fun. Just cold. And wet.

There is nothing quite like February in Calgary. A more desolate, numbing environment is difficult to imagine.

-40. Howling winds. 0% humidity.

When the snot in your nose freezes the second you go outside. When your eyes tear up from the wind and then your eyelashes freeze shut. When the ground freezes so hard the pavement cracks. When every visible plant is nothing but a dry, rigid stick.

Even on a sunny day it's much like whatever layer of Hell the Ice Devils used to come from.

That'd be the layer called Cania

But I'm sure you could get a plastic one....

A plastic scythe that's not cool, I need a real one, I mean, what effect does a plastic scythe have on people?

Plastic is cool, it's what we were created to do
