    And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should’ve seen the looks I’d get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.

    Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.

      It’s not long pants season until it hits 0C for some folks in New England. Ain’t nobody wearing a jacket up to 30C though. The humidity kills up here, that would just be murder. It can get up to 40C, but we’re generally all miserable then.

      And yeah, I had to convert the temps online to make sure I knew what I was talking about. Well, minus 0C, I know that one.

        I’m in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it’s t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn’t even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling “[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?”
