highlyeccentricThe temperature is 9 degrees celcius, the apparent temperature... is not showing on the BOM site for Canberra right now but in Tuggeranong it is 3.2, so here it may be anything between 3.2 and 9 degrees, I guess. Yesterday the apparent temp. got down to -0.7.
IT IS NOT EVEN WINTER YET. WTF?
Ok, facts: I went out last night in tights, knee-high socks, mid-calf boots, jeans, a singlet, a long-sleeve top, a jumper, a jacket (mid-thigh), gloves and a hat. My torso was warm but my legs froze.
People who actually live in cold climates: what do you wear on your legs? Because I have to walk to work at 8am every morning in winter, and I do not want to endure horrible stinging pain every morning when I get to work and my completely-numb legs encounter the building's heating system.
Right. Now I'm going to go and try to cook things, because that might warm up the house (even though by the Rules of Canberra I'm allowed to turn the heater on now, as it's past Anzac day, I don't really HAVE to. It's only Cold inside, not OMGYOUBASTARDFREEZINGCOLD).

Date: 2009-04-27 12:17 pm (UTC)Usually I just wear jeans when I can, though, nothing underneath. I think if you find you really get your torso warm, and your feets, your legs will be fine unless it's mega windy.
Buy exciting, fuzzy, cute socks!
Also I'd never heard of chilblains. They sound terrible. It's dry as hell here in the winter, humid as it is in the summer ... so we go straight to frostbite most of the time, I suppose.
