Since when is 40's COLD..... Cool maybe but to be honest we don't see too much COLD weather down here But then I lived in alaska for a time, and in Ohio and my husband is from PA really thinks we are a bunch of nuts.

But bring on the Fall Weather --- I am LOVING it

YES, I AGREE!!!!!!

[Thundersnow]

It's all relative. 

I would call 40s "chilly"... maybe not "cold."

30s and lower are probably cold.  10-20... very cold.  0-10... frigid.  Below 0... as Bill Hall used to say "Dangerously Cold!"

 

Semantics.

I LOVE the winter months. I'd take cool weather over warm weather anyday...don't hurt me people.  Now what I don't like is when it is about 20ºF with no Snow. Now that is just uncalled for.

Right! When I drop off the plane at EDDS thursday morning I might face low to mid 40s. Which is ... compared to what I have enjoyed over the last 3 weeks .... f***ing     

[Cameron K.]

Wind-chill bothers me more than the temp. I don't mind 20's and up, but when you add a wind-chill with 40 something degrees then it's "cold".  Put a little drizzle on top of that and I'll be throwing a

Look at that temp diff.  Can I say layers if that verifies.  You need a jacket a long sleeve shirt and short sleeve shirt.  And by afternoon you need to discard the jacket and long sleeve shirt.

That wouldn't happen in the city though. Another thing is that the suburbs are forecasted to be warmer.

I saw Jamestown and Crossville are foretasted 38 at the same time.  Yall wouldn't be cooler than the Plateau that wouldn't make too much sense.
