You're way too American :laugh:
You started a thread about this? I thought skynet had issues........
I wish you well my man......
In the Royal Navy under sail the Gunners mate would have the sailors keep the place neat and tidy.
They would pile the cannon balls up in a tetrahedron. To keep the balls from rolling over the cannon
balls were held in place at the base by a brass ring. The sailors call the brass ring The Monkey.
That is where we got the expression (Wait for it!)
Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!
19 is not cold. Cold is -40 with 30 knot wind.

years ago snow was the reason why i switched to contact lenses. i used to wear glasses and my option was: to roughly see where ice patches could be but risk having my glasses broken in a fall, should it happen or: take glasses off and just walk blindly. since i walked to and from the uni every day it was rather adventurous. but one day there was a small blizzard and i found that my glasses formed a solid frozen mass with my eyebrows. that day i went to the optician and bough contact lenses.
It's cold, so cold here in Santiago I decide to cover my belly with my son's blanket at night. Other then that I sleep like any other day, with only boxer on.
I do miss snow though, it just feels right whenever it snows at night near Christmas time.
But shoveling it? Driving on it? HELL NO!.

Not to mention walking into a heated store from the frozen tundra outside - glasses instantly fog over and you can't see a damned thing. I've had contacts since I was 16 years old, and that was one of the reasons. I was one of those odd people who developed cataracts in my 40's, had the surgery and lens implants and voila! No more contacts or glasses.
And for those who don't live in DR:
i do not want surgery to fix myopia, unless other issues come in. my eyesight is really bad and that limits surgery methods. in case it would not work well i would not be able to use contacts again (something about scar tissue) and i am not going back to using glasses again.
Currently 5?F here, with sub zero lows last night.. Warming up to the 20s tomorrow. Being inside, it's not the cold so much as the dry air.
