Topic: Do you dress for the Weather ? | |

He's often misquoted.
According to the Hartford Courant, he wrote an editorial where he stated: If you don’t like the weather in New England, just wait a few minutes. The authorship of that has been disputed over the years, but most agree that it was Twain. For something much less disputable, we have this... www.islandnet.com/~see/weather/arts/twain1.htm ...which gives us... There is a sumptuous variety about the New England weather that compels the stranger's admiration -- and regret. The weather is always doing something there; always attending strictly to business; always getting up new designs and trying them on the people to see how they will go. But it gets through more business in spring than in any other season. In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different kinds of weather inside of four-and-twenty hours. |

Yeah, everywhere I've lived I hear,"If you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change."

I live in Wisconsin. We wear long johns all year. In the winter to keep from freezing to death. And in the summer to keep from being eaten alive by mosquitoes.

I'm cold much of the time. I wear 2 or 3 layers. There are people here, when it gets over 40, they wear shorts and a t-shirt. I don't know how they do that.

I wear slacks and jeans all through summer, no matter how hot it is. I haven't worn shorts since I was 24 or 25.
People think I'm weird because of it. But I've always had thick legs with small feet and pronounced foot pronation. My shin bones are bowed, which is partially responsible for the pronation. The result is that I've always felt my legs looked weird -- bowed shins, big knobby knees, small feet, thick calves and thighs... I bet back when I was in prime shape, my thigh was larger that Cat's waist. It was 22 inches. My calves were 18 inches. |

I must be a polar bear in disguise. Before I switch on the heating, it has to be minus temperatures. But finding it too hot? More than 15 degrees, and I am moaning about heatwaves

Lmao 58 is not cold here in Texas when it is 58 you will still see many in shorts and flip flops and wearing hoodies...
Just some deal with the cold/heat different then others... Myself it is pretty much short sleeve t-shirts and jeans year round..I wear what I feel comfortable in, and how my body deals with the temps. Normally when I'm in a light jacket I see those that look like they are dressed for the North Pole~~~~.. |

I dress for my comfort depending on where I am and the climate in that area.
On Mackinac Island when it was 35 degrees I wore thermal underwear under my clothes and bundled up really good. When I was at Snow Mountain Ranch in Colorado and the sun was out, at 30 degrees I was taking my jacket off and wearing just my t-shirt while walking. The altitude there is 8,700 feet above sea level so much closer to the sun. In Florida, as little clothing as possible. It doesn't matter to me what others are wearing, I'll wear whatever keeps me warm or cool on that day. Dressing in layers works well for me because I go back and forth with getting hot and then getting cold. |

In Florida, as little clothing as possible. And all the guys go... |

In Florida, as little clothing as possible. And all the guys go... Yes they did! It's hilarious, I tested it one day, wore capris and a baggy shirt... nothing! Short shorts and a spaghetti strap tank top.... Holy cow, it was like in the exorcist when she turned her head around 360 degrees |

I've seen guys do that around here.
I make fun of them by turn my head so far around that I start stumbling in the opposite direction of my head from being off-balance. I'm like, "Dude! Do you realize how ridiculous you look??? It makes you look like a washed-up-down-on-his-luck player." |
