I see lads (and some girls) walking around town without a jacket sometimes in just a Tshirt ,some of them even wearing shorts......in this weather 
Ive got to admit,Im envious in a way, I'm a lover of layers when it comes to clothes and I like to stay warm.
Im not "trolling" , I'm genuinely curious as to why some folk dont seem to feel the cold at all,is it folk just putting on a hard front or is it possible to build resistance to the cold ? |
Don't think it's too much of the "hard front" or "resistance" ... it's just that, whatever the weather, shiite has to get done. Folks have to go to work, school, shopping, dog walking ... all the normal everyday kinda stuff. And snow has to be shoveled ... Snow and cold come ... the sanders, plows, and shovels come out, and, bingo, it's all sorted out until the next blast hits. And those wearing shorts and tees ... either they are Canadian (after all, -9 is a pleasant winter temperature
) or just trying to show off how "tough" they are. All they really are is dumb.
I spent almost 20yrs in Saskatchewan, and have seen, and lived thru, temps in the minus 50s, without the windchill. You get used to it. Never learn to like it, but you just shrug your shoulders, put on your long johns, pick up your shovel, and get on with your life.
