Does your wife ever get used to the cold?

[Sayha or bust. 71]

Just out of curiosity and to hear some funny stories , "How long did it take for your wife to adjust to the cold."

My wife's been here since last February and still likes to sleep in her jacket and pants. One thing that makes me laugh is it will be 35 degrees and she will be bundled up to the max and will have open toe sandals or flip flops. lol. Share your stories if you have some.

I don't know about getting used to the cold, but after 1 year my wife thinks it's cold here when, in reality, it's about 10 degrees warmer during the winter than she was used to in Colombia. She's going to have problems when we go back for a visit next month.

I think getting used to the cold takes awhile when you're used to beautiful warm weather all year round (except for a few hurricanes here and there of course lol). Anything below 60 degrees is cold to me but I can grin and bear it now. I just make sure the house is nice and warm and when I go out I always have a coat on hand except in the summer. My hubby calls me the coat queen

Cold to her is 75 degrees and below, and I'd have to say she a coat queen too and likes to wear her sweat pants underneath her Jeans..

My husband sure brags that he's the 'real Minnesotan' when he is the one wearing the lighter coat to go outside. Although the bragging usually stops when the weather dips below zero and then it's all swearing and mumbling.

Alla is from Ukraine. It is colder than Vermont. She sleeps naked in the winter. No kidding.

[jojolicious 38]

That was me at first... I can remember when I felt the cold wintry breeze hit my face for the first time, I literally stopped breathing for a couple of seconds... I was that traumatised.

Cherry is learning to tolerate the cold more after being here for 90 days and an education to dress warmly and not like she would in the Phills

Ditto. All year round. PJ's bug me... I just can't do it.

Are you taking into account the windchill? I couldn't believe how much the windchill changed things. I'm fine until there's a breeze then i pull up the neck warmer/face mask thing I just bought.

My Fresy has never seen snow or any temperature below 65 degrees. She sure is in for a shock when she steps off the plane sometime in January when the average Cleveland temperature is 20 degrees...

In preparation for her visit I've bought her 2 coats. One down filled and 1 full length wool. Also, ear warmers, thick socks, gloves, and a couple of hats. She learned to knit and has made herself several scarfs...

But, as much as I've tried to prepare her for winter in Northern Ohio, she's in for a bit of a reality check when she arrives.

She must really love me if she's coming to Ohio in January.

I don't think she'll be sleeping naked until mid-July.

When I tell Mrs. T-B. that it will be "cold" tomorrow, she gives me a semi-blank stare. It's the same when she asks "Is cold?" and I say "yes." I remember my first trip to Ecuador, when I asked her "What will the weather be like tomorrow?" She said, "We use the Ecuador Weather Channel. Wait until tomorrow, open the door, stick out your hand, and if it doesn't get wet, it isn't raining." She tends to follow the same procedure here, when it comes to testing the cold. She almost never watches the televised weather reports, and she periodically asks me whether there are any hurricanes in the area.

Conversely, when I tell her "It will be as hot as Guayaquil," she understands completely, si man.

In Cuenca, in the mountains, the temperature rarely gets above 60 F., brrr man. I'm completely comfortable there in a long-sleeved flannel shirt, perhaps even without a light jacket, but the natives are all bundled up like Eskimos, si man. The tables are turned in Guayaquil (on the coast), where I'm usually sweating like a #######, and the natives -- who are entirely comfortable -- glance at me curiously as if they're thinking "what's wrong with him, huh man?"
