I would love to experience true Autumn around here. </p> <p>In CA, we don't really have seasons, but Sept-Nov are our hottest months, whereas it hasn't been that hot from June-August.</p> <p>Our winters are usually nice, crisp and sunny... usually in the 60s. We do a lot of layering around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get/page/2#post-1031518 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 12:54:46 +0000 jh524 1031518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: sounds like we live in the same place! Our winters get cold! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get/page/2#post-1031356 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 12:02:27 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1031356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Winter? What's that? Oh, that thing Texas only sees for a week? It can get cold but hardly ever really snows. I am so jealous of cold weather bees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get/page/2#post-1031354 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 12:01:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1031354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nebraska weather is so unpredictible, we can be 0 degrees one day and then the next have a high of 50. (I've had heater and air on in the house in the same day before!) So we have to have a wide variety of clothes, and we have to be prepared for snow, ice, rain, ect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get/page/2#post-1031341 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 11:56:47 +0000 Vegmama 1031341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Yikes! So cold!! We're in the Pacific Northwest ... Our winters are mild (30's-50's) with lots of gray skies and rain. Totally okay compared to our previous city (in the midwest). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029733 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:58:40 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1029733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: The sad thing is I can't even put away clothes since the weather is so unpredictable! Even if it's warm one day, it can be cold the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029731 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:57:10 +0000 Ree723 1029731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in winter right now (southern hemisphere obviously) and our average winter day time temp is 31....Celsius. Which converts to 88 Fahrenheit. Bloody frickin' hot here all the time. </p> <p>We don't really have 'winter' so to speak - it's the Dry (winter) where it's 90 F and low humidity, and the Wet (summer), where it's mid-90s and high humidity. Guess who is super excited to be having a Feb baby, right smack dab in the midst of the Wet?!? Gah, I'm going to swell up like a balloon!</p> <p>I miss snow and winter boots. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029724 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:52:20 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1029724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: you can come visit in Jan/Feb and play in our snow ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029715 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:48:26 +0000 MrsTiz 1029715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lowest we get is like 33 degrees. I only know this because I pray for snow every year haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029675 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:34:07 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1029675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.janedoe: lol!</p> <p>@MrsBrewer: ha same here!!</p> <p>@LazyLightning: yup - about 45 min NW of the cities.</p> <p>@locavore_mama: gah. it was snowy and cold ALL of May this year - this past winter was brutal and I hope we get some reprieve this year! It was so cold and snowy. the snow didn't go away until the third week of May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029637 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 15:23:03 +0000 MrsH 1029637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends but usually frigid and lots of snow :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029551 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:54:51 +0000 chopsuey 1029551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get snow sometimes.. I think the coldest I've experienced here was in the 20s? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029528 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:47:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1029528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: dang, that's cold! Around here, the coldest it gets is -18 F. But it's normally around 5 F. Our coldest month is Feb and snow usually doesn't come until December. It's surprisingly not too snowy. The really cold days is when there's no snow at all. </p> <p>I had no idea how to dress for the cold. Before LO, I didn't really matter too much since I wasn't really out in the cold for long periods of time, but since she's starting daycare soon (and they'll be out playing everyday in ALL weather), I've had a crash course on layering. There's so much clothes! Haha! </p> <p>I had a really hard time wrapping my head around all the gear - and I thank @lamariniere for helping me sort it out :happy: </p> <p>BTW, I found that a brand from Finland has excellent cold weather gear (Reima) also Polarn o. Pyret is really good as well &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1029407 Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:10:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 1029407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just saw this today!</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: as you know I have very similar weather to you!! At every change in season, I pack up all my summer clothes (or winter clothes) and bring out the other stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027528 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:54:31 +0000 PurplePeony 1027528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Temperature-wise, not too cold. It usually hovers in the mid-to-high 40s during the day and high 30s or low 40s at night. We rarely get snow (none last year, a couple dustings the year before). BUT it's so rainy and humid that it just feels raw -- it's the kind of weather that just creeps into your bones rather than the brisk, biting cold I remember from my days in the Northeast. And our weather has such a sameness to it from November to June, even though it's a bit warmer in the spring. I always get super jealous when I hear about May heat waves back east and wish they could send us a few of those extra degrees that they don't really need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027511 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:37:58 +0000 looch 1027511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in the Northeast, and we get 4 seasons here, but some are milder than others. Last year there was enough snow to satisfy my need for it and even if we get none, we usually go to the Alps at least once a year, so I get my cold weather fix there...even in the summer you need long pants/sleeves! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027506 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:34:48 +0000 Lindsay05 1027506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had days where it has been -50 celsius. But the norm for Jan-Mar is probably -25 celsius. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027495 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:30:01 +0000 HLK208 1027495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some winters are mainly in the 20's for a month but we don't usually have snow during that time. Otherwise, it's 30-45 usually.</p> <p>I would spend a lot less money on clothing living in Arizona! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027492 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:28:29 +0000 lolabee 1027492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm dreading winter with a LO. We have long, typically cold/snowy winters. I don't mind the snow at all but the freeeeezing I do! I'd guess our average temp in the winter would be around -20 celsius but can get to -40 with the wind chill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027484 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:19:59 +0000 mrskc 1027484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have pretty mild winters. Highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s. And usually doesn't get cold until nov and starts warming in march. It's cold to me though! We can probably get away with just long sleeves and layering cardis and light jackets. We don't get a lot of rain either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027482 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:19:29 +0000 BananaPancakes 1027482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in Florida like @artbee. We have plenty of 80 plus degree days through December. Then in January and February, we might get a few nights down into the 20's, but then it will be in the 60'a during the day. A whole day that stays in the 50's is freezing to me. Overnight freezes are a huge deal here because of the citrus. And almost everyone owns plants that need to be covered in blankets because they aren't cold hardy. We all act very inconvenienced by anything under 30 degrees. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027472 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:08:35 +0000 LazyLightning 1027472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: you're from small town mn right? I'm in eastern nd so we're similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027471 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:06:54 +0000 LazyLightning 1027471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Summers in the 80s-90 usually, while winter is below 20 degrees, sometimes -20 or -30. Often windy too so wind chill makes it colder. We have a big range!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027469 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 11:04:41 +0000 LaineysMom 1027469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as I have lived here (27 years), it has never snowed.. :). However, we do get a couple of weeks where it drops to the 30s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027464 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:58:08 +0000 anonysquire 1027464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too cold in my opinion. I've never liked the snow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027459 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:54:36 +0000 autumnlove 1027459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get mild winters here! Upper 30s is really cold to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027456 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:47:52 +0000 tysonja 1027456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i grew up in weather like mrs pen's too, so i understand the need to have all those different kinds of items -- and decent quality ones too, or else everyone will be MISERABLE during the intense weather :).</p> <p>we live on the pacific west coast now, so it's way milder, and i'm glad i don't have to purchase snow suits and hard core boots for LO! until we go back east to visit family... hmm... hehe :) will try to borrow for those instances :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027374 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:44:36 +0000 regberadaisy 1027374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our winters are similar to mrs pens. We've had stormd as early as October and as late as april. One year there was snow around my birthday which is May. If we get temps of 30 it's a heat wave.</p> <p>Winter gear includes a waterproof shell with fleece, fleece hats, gloves and good weatherproof boots like Sorels. Cute boots from the gap won't cut it!</p> <p>From about October to march I pretty much live in a knee length goose down coat with knee high fleece lined waterproof timberlands. </p> <p>But I love it till about february/march. I need my four seasons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027373 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:43:43 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1027373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be the wild card here.... we are in the middle of winter here and the average temp is 30c (86F) Northern Australia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-cold-do-your-winters-get#post-1027367 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:34:26 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1027367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Sounds pretty similar to mine! ;) </p>
