Oh, caught up mid translation. And not even a hot spring will make Sanaewife face the cold, that's relatable.

The survey's ready to Netflix and wind chill:

What temperature do you find cold?
• 20°C (68°F)
• 10°C (50°F)
• 0°C (32°F)
• -10°C (14°F)
• -20°C (-4°F)

Reader-added tags include "Icy road", "Looks to give you chills in two senses of the phrase", and "10-degree increments".

-20°C is bearable (we'll have it this low tomorrow, lol), -30°C is quite chilly and requires an extra layer of clothing to walk around, -35°C and beyond is "nope, I'd rather stay home".

Uh, i always considered him lucky for seeing it everyday when he looks at Sanaewife....

.... i'll go sit in a corner for a bit :V

I only start really feeling the cold at -35C or so. Even -25C is okay if it's not windy. Even without a coat.

It sounded like NNescio is a true northerner. Well below -45C temperatures are my personal "fuck it" threshold. I've only seen -50C a few times, thankfully. -40 is a lot more common with windchill.

-20 will be the high tomorrow - and that's without windchill. It'll be closer to -27 with it.

Also, it looks like only 48 voters (at this time) ate from Hokkaido, given that 158 voters and 147 voters consider 0C and 10C respectively to be cold.

Anything below 0°C is cold or someone from warm and tropical places could say 15°C is cold, its perspective. Being tolerant depends of the place and how really accustomed you are, with special clothing doesn't count because anyone will prefer to stay at home doing somenthing relaxing instead of going out to the cold without the proper clothes...

Well, cold tolerance really depends on humidity in the area. In the plains, where the air is dry, cold doesn't sting as hard, and near huge rivers or lakes even -10C can feel like turning into an ice cube. Also, out of curiosity, where do you live? Canada?

10°C is fine without wind. -10°C is basically my "NOPE" threshold even with as much warm clothing as I can lay my hands on. (In the other direction, I can take about 35°C.)

No, I meant Type-kun is amazing for being able to tolerate those temperatures. Your tolerances seem to be even more amazing.

Me, I'm from the tropics, and I've only spent time overseas in Mediterranean climates like coastal California, so yeah, anything under 15°C/60°F is cold to me.

-20C with high humidity is bad, but at least it's easier on the skin. It's worse when you tend to go without a coat at those temperature. With wind, it's hell even with a coat. Wind makes every worse, due to the faster rate of heat loss that it creates - even -5C can be quite chilly, while -20C can become more like -40C with wind.

Now, go to -50c and THEN add wind, and you're in the Antarctic or you're in a death zone somewhere....

And I think that's a safe assumption. At least it's not Siberia.

I guess -10°C is where I start getting really uncomfortable, and anything in the single-digits or lower in Fahrenheit is approaching my NOPE zone.
(I'm from Virginia in the US, we get sorta cold winters sometimes)

Anytime that Celsius and Fahrenheit are the same usually means "really fucking cold". At least it's warm today - it's only -5C or so. It'll drop hard tomorrow. .

That only happens when she Sanaelates him.

I live in a tropical country where I'm usually stuck with hot or warm weather; the lowest I think I've seen around here is like 5 Cº.

And it's amazing how much people told me to put a coat. Even some strangers passing by.

[I just start slowly dying when it's about 20C and up]

I lived in the tropics most of my life, so I'm used to a 20-25ºC temperature. If the temperature falls below 10ºC, I'm going to put on thick clothes, turn on the heater, and bury myself alive under a blanket. I probably can't even comprehend the coldness of below 0ºC yet.

The fact that everyone here living up on the temperate climate seems to deal with that kind of temperature on an annual basis terrifies me.

Adding wind at -50 really does nothing... if you're appropriately dressed for it without wind, there's no heat for the wind to pull away, even at gale force. If you're inappropriately dressed at -50 with exposed skin, things are already bad enough that wind isn't going to matter (if you're at severe risk of frostbite in seconds, taking a few seconds off doesn't really matter).

I consider it cold at -20C... not that it means that I feel stopped from going outside as I'll easily walk an hour to downtown, and then back. It just means that if I put on my winter coat (over top a T-shirt) I'm not going sweat... which will happen at -10. It's a heavy coat that's very good for my home town in northern Canada, but I don't get to use it often here in Southern Ontario. There's pretty much no weather here that's a nope because of temperature... we've had a couple freak -35C days in the past few years with the weakening of the polar vortex, but I've got gear for that and took the opportunity to use it for a change. It was certainly better than the usual winter weather here were things sit around 0C... which means I can't wear sneakers in winter because my feet get drenched from all the slush.

Next week is going to be fun :3 It doesn't even count constant 3 to 5 m/s wind.
