another question :):)

So I was reading around on here and some people are saying it gets quite cold some nights, and in the winter it's even colder...

So my question is ......are anyone bringing a jacket down there, I have room but im just thinking do i need it!??!?!?!?!

 

Yes bring a jacket!

Sometimes when it's been really hot all day, it then gets very cold at night...

oooooooooow I have pins and needles in my foot :'(

 

That's no good!!!!

...And to your question I'm taking two, a nice warm tweed jacket, and a long rain coat!!!

 

Hehe, you guys are really amusing..

Im from Bergen, Norway.. Known as the rainy city, and its about -5 in the winter (at daytime).. In Florida the temperature hardly ever gets below +9, even in January.. Im defenantly not bringing a coat to keep me warm.. But as for the rain, I have lots of equipment for that

Happy 19. April everyone (Its not a special day or anything.. But now its a happy day)

 

lol this thread is started by a Canadian, and (depending on where you live) you lucky if it's above -15 in the winter here... I'm probably just going to bring a hoodie/light jacket when I go down.

 

MAY SOUND SILLY...but THIS Canadian is bringing her jacket as well!! I got a really nice Columbia 3 in 1 so I will bring that!! I can take it apart and have the polar fleece for cool nights, the outer lining for light coverage and if we happen to get a FREAK FREEZE....which I KNOW has happened before......we will NEED IT!!

When I was there this past February, I watched people walk around MK with scarves and mits and I LAUGHED SO HARD! I was wearing sandals still and capri pants and a light T SHIRT!! HAHAHAH
My friend who is a FLORIDIAN was buying sweaters, jackets and freaking OUT becuase she said it was SOOOOOOOOOOO cold!! I told her to come visit me during January....-30 if she was LUCKY!!!

COME ON CANADIANS...................... your bringing a coat right??? ;D

 

*LAUGH* That's so funny to see isn't it. I think bring a Columbia is a good idea, just cause it's useful as seperates. But there is no way I'm bringing a toque (especially cause I don't want to have to explain the word toque)

 

Oh I am bringing a coat, not a heavy one now mind you, but still.

I find it can get pretty chilly at night so you're better off to be prepared.

Just imagine though for those of us who live in colder climates, how cold we're going to be when we go home. Brrrrrrrr.

 

In most parts of Norway the temp is between -50 and -15, but Bergen is a bit warmer because its close to the ocean and the gulf-stream..

 

OH YEAH.......a TOQUE!! GOTTA bring one!!!

We are ALREADY going to have to explain IGLOOS and such so why not toques?? I look FORWARD to the challenges!! tee hee!!! ;D

 

Haha

One time someone asked if we had computers in NL. Being evil I told them no that I had to rewire my toaster to get the internet.
They replied with "Oh really" in the curious tone, not the sarcastic one. *sigh*

;D

 

OH SISTA.....you are NAUGHTY!!!


LOVE IT!! We will get into SOME TROUBLE down there B'Y!!! ;D

I'm only down in Flordia for the summer so I'm just bringing a wind breaker or something for when its windy.

While you're explaining about the toques and igloos, might as well tell them about your new dog sled and how your pet walrus is doing

 

Ahh yes, the infamous "You Canadians must be DYING in this heat right now!" comment.

I'm just going to bring a windbreaker/light jacket too. Better to be safe than sorry!

 

I should also tell them about how I had to take the horse and cart to the edge of the woods, whistle for my moose which I rode to the coast, used another whistle for my seals (which is a different whistle now then the moose one, can't get those mixed up) got in my boat and had the seals pull me across the tickle and then I was on the mainland so I could get my plane. hehehe

 

I tell ALL of my American friends NOW that we use dog sleds for the mail! They ALWAYS send me things and they ALWAYS take AT LEAST 2 weeks to get here!! I mean HONESLTY..........they have SATURDAY delivery

You EVER hear of THAT??

My moose was giving me trouble so I went with BEAVER!!! GREAT WATER SPEED!! ;D ;D

 

One reason you may want to consider bringing warmer clothes is in case you do any trips over the winter! I went to New York City in early December and had got my parents to send me my mitts and scarf. I *may* have snuck a winter coat and touque from costuming

You really do get used to the warm weather and there are many nights in the "winter" when you can see your breath.

That being said, I didn't bring a warm coat.. But just thought I would throw this out there.

It's so funny to see how much people will believe and the silly things they don't know.

When I was 16, my parents were talking to a southern US couple in EPCOT. When my mom told them where we were from they said "Oh that's a nice little place, we drove through there once" ... funny thing is all my parents said was "Canada" hoping they wouldn't be too confused. Well that didn't work. My dad decided to ask "Oh really, where were you headed when you 'drove through' Canada?" ... and their response "British Columbia"
