Oh pish posh. You know it could be a heck of a lot colder around here than -9 F. In fact, if memory serves, in the past it typically HAS been at least slightly colder than that around this time of year anyway. It's actually been a rather mild winter for us this year.

After a very early start this winter is being fickle.
Today is only -7 Celsius with no wind. But earlier this week it was -30 for a few days...
I'm expecting the windchill to go down to -50 eventually. It does every year, and I don't think this city will have last year's luck again either.

-30 Celsius? (That's -22 Fahrenheit). Chilly.
-50 C would be -58 F

A downright frigid 33° F here in Birmingham, Alabama.
Personally, I find this kind of weather quite pleasant. That said... I'm not sure how this southern man would handle below-zero temperatures.

Having seen people from down south experience below-zero weather for the first time before, I can tell you that it probably would not go over well for you.

Scyphi, I think you'd be right. Alabama can sometimes get pretty cold for a southern state (18 or so degrees F isn't terribly uncommon), but most of the time it's dry, calm air. Sunshine, no wind, just cool northern air settling in for a week or so.
However, I do recall a time when the temperatures dropped into the teens and it got pretty windy. The wind chill dropped to zero. While I was out camping. On the side of a mountain. In a completely open wooden shelter facing towards the valley. Basically, the wind whipped us around all night long; I don't remember getting any sleep in my poor little wal-mart sleeping bag. The next night? Five guys cuddling in a four man tent. Truly uncomfortable bonding experience, there.

Yeah, us southerners can't handle the cold, but you just come on down here in the summer when it's 105ºF (more or less 40ºC) 98% humidity, and see how you like it.

90's too hot for me, much less anything approaching 100, but that's the price you pay for being more tolerant of that colder weather.
