Now that winter is upon us here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, there have been some days when the temperature has reach well below the freezing point. One day this week it was stated as "feels like" -12 Celcius (which apparently is 10 F) - I think the actual measured temperature was around -6C. There was no real wind this day but some time ago a similar day had some strong winds and I believe I reached the limit of kilt wearing on such a day.

It's not as bad as viewers may think (I have talked to some people and mentioned how jeans are probably the coldest things to wear in winter and they seem to freeze) but the thighs can get pretty chilly.


Perhaps it's a sign of obsessive compulsive disorder to wear a kilt on such days but I want to make it through the winter and thus all year (might have to cave and get some red long john's for underneath ... I'm not going around 'regimental' anyway).

Anyone else going around outside in "feels like" -12 C(10F) weather? Or am I the only crazy person here?
