I dislike snow but don’t mind the cold at all. Polar vortices from the past several years have left me unphased I think.

But I am the biggest baby about hot and humid weather. Summer makes me absolutely miserable. Anything above 70s is too warm.

@TriednTrue That is still a thing. They tell you exactly how many seconds you have before frostbite attacks. The key is to never go outside with any skin exposed. We all look real cute around here in the winter. :rofl:

I went to school in Fort Collins and lived in CO for about 10 years. The winters there are what we refer to in the Dakotas as “Mild”. Lol. I actually bagged quite a few of the 14’ers in the winter - there are some great couloir snow climbs. I know you hike, so if you ever get into winter climbing, let me know. I’ve done a fair amount.

But is it even cold if your nostrils don’t freeze together when you inhale?? :wink:

You would not survive down here. If the heat doesn’t kill you, the spiders and snakes do. :joy:

Bold of you to assume I don’t live in a location that does indeed get miserably hot and humid :slight_smile:

I didn’t assume anything, I just said you wouldn’t survive here :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I somehow survive the summer months where I am, and I am not sure how.

I confess that, for some reason, the wildlife in Oz just makes me WAY more terrified than anything I see up here.

Which is bizarre, because basically every Canadian animal is big and will fuck you up; wolves, cougars, bears, moose, hockey players

When I visited Aus, the tourist board had just released a series of adverts with the title “Come to Australia, you probably won’t get killed”

dangerous things you can’t see are scarier.

are powerful and dangerous but they’re pretty easy to avoid/ not provoke

tend to be small but deadly things like spiders or poisonous plants, which are harder to detect → more likely to get harmed
Even larger creatures like gators or crocodiles are better at camoflage than most canadian beasts

All creatures that are easily subdued with a couple of brewskies.

I heard moose can be problematic when they’ve had a few too many though.

Given the number of species that can kill your down here it is interesting that the animal that causes the most deaths is actually horses!! I think that is probably because too many Ozzie’s get drunk and try to ride one :joy::joy::joy::joy:
