Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.
84 and humid in FL for Halloween, as usual. I miss a nice crisp fall.
I grew up in the Chicago area and my mom would make my costumes. It was always a crapshoot whether it would be freezing or really hot on Halloween. I was often dressed incorrectly.
Don’t plant anything new in the garden. It will die.
At least it looks like it won’t rain on Halloween, that’s the important part.
It rained more halloweens than not when I was a kid.
“Cold snap” he says, staring at you Wisconsinly.
Good that we don’t do Halloween here.
What a strange comment.
Growing up in the Northeast, we got very used to wearing our puffy winter coats over our costumes most years. If you were lucky it was clear and cold, but most years it either snowed or rained.
The secret is to dress as a superhero and buy a costume that’s too big. Put your jacket under the costume and it just looks like muscles.
Just like good ol’ Red Green!
Thats a good way so assure it will be 82 degrees and 80% humidity 😂
I don’t mind the chill it just seems to come at the last second every year. 70° on the 30th, then 30° on the 31st. Then it will hit 80° again in November… Jack Frost is a bitch.
Same happened in Salem one year. Snowed on the 30th and 70F on the 31st.
Fuck yeah it’s getting cold for Halloween
According to Mike Pence it gets low like that in Indiana because the witches tits make it colder on Halloween, or so mother says…
I have not seen high school girls wearing bras and underwear to be Miley Cyrus in several years…so if the GOP are behind it for moral reasons it may have worked.
Guessing by the downvotes the joke did not land or doesn’t make sense. Not sure why. Mike Pence is a prude and teenage girls coming to the door half naked make me uncomfortable.
None the richer.
If you think 48F is freezing you try spending time in actual cold weather where its actually below the freezing point of water.
They’re in Indiana not Florida
We get that in Indiana too, but it’s pretty difficult to adjust to a 30 - 40 degree drop in temperature over a short period of time. We get into the negatives (especially in the north where I am), but it’s usually a gradual drop throughout winter.
Never really understood gate-keeping being cold though, kinda weird.
Thanks for your comment…gatekeeping nowadays is old and annoying.
45° F is cold for trick or treating and that’s before wind chil
Yeah I went back and read me comment and it is a little silly. I guess it just depends on where you are. I grew up with bitter cold Halloweens so 48 sounds nice.
I changed the title to cold snap so you can take down the gate, grandpa. And just for the record, 45° is cold when you are dressed as a princess wearing tights or Spider-Man in a thin suit from Target.
I suppose I shouldn’t be so critical. To me 80 is hot.
Hey, good on you for being pretty cool about things overall. I like that about lemmy, we all seem to ultimately want to understand each-other and get along.
Yeah tell that to the people who keep spewing propaganda without stopping to think. I’ve had to leave a few communities because all of the content was so pessimistic. (This is part of the reason I am now trying to be more friendly online. We don’t need to fight hate with hate)
Thats 1.66 °C to 8.88 °C in sensible units.
Celsius is no more “sensible” than Fahrenheit for human comfort.
Good bot
The “sensible” nature of everything besides Kelvin is just opinion.
dungarees science
I thought that was Celsius for a second lol
70 degrees? How aren’t you boiling alive?
We have special houses in America, with fire resistant walls and overpowered AC and built-in gun safes.
