MMM.. So I'm in Albany, New York this week and well, let me say that it is FREEZING COLD!! Low 30s, High 20s, and I'm going OYE!!. but it's interesting too as there is absolutely no snow anywhere. It's barren ground.
Brrr! How can people stand those temperatures? Maybe one night a year it will get that cold here. I couldn't imagine living with those temperatures.
Try working third shift when it's that cold and the wind is blowing really hard and idiots at work have to open the door to go outside to get stuff and then it gets really cold.
If it were 20 above (*F) outside with the windchill it felt like 10 below. Yeah but you were probably swimming in a heated pool though inside.
The pool was not heated. I can assure you that... It took me close to 30 minutes to adjust to the cold temperature.
I credit thinking about home . There's no place like home...there's no place like home...there's no place like home....and 80F weather
Cold can't hurt you unless you already are sick with something. Must have been healthy at the time. Edit: assuming you're not out in it long enough to get hypothermia and frostbite.
