Your brass monkey 🐒 references made me look up the above website. Some good ones in there.

FMD it’s cold and now that bloody washing machine is beeping which means I need to hang out another load of washing. I feel like I’m an Eskimo about to brave the Nth Pole ice slabs. 😩🥺😔

I can’t even begin to imagine such conditions.

9 am in Sydney atm and the temp has climbed to 7 degrees.

I just hung up my 1st load of washing and both my hands are blue and frozen solid. 🥺😔😩

That's mild.

https://wmo.asu.edu/content/world-lowest-temperature

World: Lowest Temperature

Record Value -89.2°C (-128.6°F)

Date of Record 21 / 7 [July] / 1983
Formal WMO Review Yes (2011)
Length of Record 1912-present
Instrumentation Maximum/Minimum Thermometer in Standard Stevenson Screen
Geospatial Location Vostok, Antarctica [77°32'S, 106°40'E, elevation: 3420m (11,220ft)]

Interesting fact.

"Dry ice" is actually solid, frozen carbon dioxide, which happens to sublimate, or turn to gas,
at a chilly

-78.5 °C

(-109.3°F)

So -
in Antarctica it gets cold enough to make dry ice out of the carbon dioxide in the air.

I also take the dog for a walk on the beach and have a swim in the winter. I don't like the water too warm anymore.

Also early winter the water isn't that cold. Water temp tends to lag air temp by several months. I find water temp is the lowest around November and it is still relatively warm up to maybe July August. This is of course influenced by water currents.

Coldest water I have been in was a Christmas day in the 1980's or 90's. Had christmas at Bondi and the water temp was 2 degrees. a cold current came up from the south, If you stepped into the water (40 degree day) it hurt and if up to your ankles your feet would be numb in 30 seconds. It was strange to be on Bondi beach on a 40 degree day with thousands of people on the beach and nobody in the water.

You can wear shorts and a tee shirt at 2 degrees if you're running around.
Football and soccer players do that all the time in winter and
they don't feel cold at all.

Wanna bet ? Been there done that.

Back in the day change sheds were never heated and the shower stays hot for maybe 4 players. OK in the prime part of the game the exertion would keep you warm. Stoppages would be a challenge with a wet jumper from sweat combined with a cold wind blowing the chill factor would be maybe -5 deg. Not only that the ground would freeze and feel like concrete in a tackle, it would rip your skin to shreds. You may have 40 minutes before the game to contend with and 30 minutes after the game.

The princesses in first grady maybe got looked after a bit better but nobody else did.

Not me -
I played soccer and I don't remember feeling cold till the game stopped -
then I had to put on a warm coat and get home for
a shower and a change of clothes.
Running creates a lot of internal heat - that's why you can even sweat in Winter.

Very frequently had a compulsory event after a game and a debrief on the game in some teams. nobody went home to shower on these days. I don't remember anyone ever going home to shower but I suspect it likely did happen. You also had 3 nights of training when it was even colder and very stop start on occasion. We all did it so it wasn't unbearable but it was challenging.

41F is cold? Shocked

yes - we consider 5 degrees Celsius to be cold in Australia.

We have poor quality houses with little insulation
and many people don't have gas heaters.

Why would you want one?

RC air conditioners do a much better job, for less.

I have a reverse cycle aircon and it's piss poor in winter compared to
the gas heater in my last place.

We used to play soccer in local parks -
even in an adult team after I left school.
There were no showers or any facilities except a dunny I think.

You had to rush home to shower and change after the game.
