Brave and Love the Cold

[The Penguin]

This thread is for people that are brave and love the cold. Penguins, polar bears, any animals or humans that love the cold are welcome to write here. This Penguin can manage up to about -20C. He has seen frozen water falls before. I made some interesting videos. I will share them later on in the year. I love hiking in cold weather as I don't notice the cold with all the body heat generated from walking.

I do alright enough until about the teens in Fahrenheit, especially if it's really humid so it feels like -20F. And if I'm still moving, I don't do well if I sit still in that kind of cold, my lower back/hips starts hurting.

don't know about brave, but I do like the cold. I do better when it's not too humid, like AsheSkyler said. When it's below 16 or 17º I still like walking but have to cover my head and face. A long walk on a loop trail (no wind) and in a place with no snowmobiles is one of my favorite things to do.
Also, I love the warmth of me when I'm back home and peel off the layers.

I absolutely love the cold, but I hate the places where it generally occurs (namely, locations at far latitudes). I remember living in Colorado, and one of my favorite things to do was to take a shower early morning, and then bundle up and walk the few blocks to the coffee shop in 30-below Fahrenheit. Here when it gets cold, I love it too, but it tends to be of the humid, biting sort that creeps its way through however many layers you may be wearing, so while I still love it (especially if it's snowed or frosted) it is a bit harder to manage.

I don't know I have mixed feelings on cold, I have lived in wisconsin both sides and alaska, I like cold dry air, good for my lungs and the silence after a new snow fall, if you dress right snowy woods are fun, you can track and find animals in snow that you would never see in summer. But I love my garden tomato sandwiches, maybe if I had a nice solarium I would love the north more.

I started choosing to walk to school every single day while in junior high. If your alternative was to sit three to a seat on a school bus, you'd do it too. And minus forty was a simple fact of life. Kept it up right until graduation.

The key is not to be foolhardy. Fifteen minutes is fine. Fifteen hours is insane.

I grew up in a place where the average temperature in January is 20 - 25C below zero but air is dry so it's doesn't feel that bad as it sounds. And I always loved winter and snow so much.
Now I live in a place where temperature during the winter rarely goes lower than 5 - 10C below zero (mostly it's around +8 - 0C) and humidity often gets to 100% and I hate it. The cold enters everywhere no matter how much you're dressed, it just gets directly to your bones. The humidity kills all the fun.

So, for me it really depends on what kind of cold it is. I so much hope we will have some snow this winter, at least. (Locals would kill me for such a wish, snow is considered to be nearly a natural disaster here!)

You have been ice skating since you last posted for this tread.

I love the cold!! I'm in Northern BC, and right now, we are having -25C during the day, will be going down to below -30 overnight. I love having a roaring fire going in the woodstove and feeling all cozy inside. I love going outside with my dog for walks and exercise, and the world is still and quiet, and you feel like you have all of it to yourself. I bundle up and -25C doesn't bother me. I was just thinking how I like the winter more than summer with it's heat and mosquitoes and blinding sunshine and people out and about EVERYWHERE!

I love studying the tracks left in the snow by little creatures and seenig their stories. Makes you realize of all the life that is around you, even though you can't see or hear anything in the still quiet.
