Sommerswerd asked me to change this
Attending my first soccer game of the year tomorrow at 8pm in Toronto.
It's the earliest in the year the team has ever played a home game... but it looks like we're gonna get a bit lucky with a high of 7C!! 44.6F ... Not factoring in windchill and that the stadium is right by the lake. It was supposed to be a lot worse though
Last week these 2 teams played in Dallas at -19F with windchill. That's -2.2C. So it will be a welcome change for the players as well

London weather is quite mild, eg Spring weather is usually near 20C, which is the best temperature, really.
Raining may be very usual, but it is that kind of very thin ongoing rain, with rarer heavy rain.
Wind is an issue. It can be 7C but if it has wind it will freeze you; i recall freezing when waiting for the bus to take me to the train station, in the exposed hill of Essex university.

The Midwest is on the way from here to there.
Isn't Plotinus in Essex?
I don't know 
Moreover i am not sure if the uni of Essex has courses on theology. It's philosophy department was supposed to be good*, yet iirc Plotinus was faculty at the more prestigious Oxford uni in the past (?).
*going by national stats. In reality a few professors were good, but i also met a few really terribly bad - and also bad characters. One in particular, a history-oriented german individual, philosophy professor, was someone i immediately disliked, and we had some serious issues - started when he openly accused me of not caring for his class cause - in his view - i found it boring. Well, i did, but that wasn't why i wasn't attending many of the classes (psychological issues rather than philosophical
)

Weather really doesn't make over the Rockies intact.
The coldest I've ever been was in London around Easter when I was a kid. We had a big van that we "camped" in - not a camper or a fancy conversion van, just a big empty van with windows all the way around. My dad had put a sheet of plywood across in the back, to make bunk beds, sort of, and there were pieces of fabric to cover the windows, attached with velcro. The first time we'd gone to London we'd stayed at an actual campground, but this time we were just parking in parking lots. One night we ended up all four of us in one sleeping bag, with all the rest of the sleeping bags piled on top of us. I was still freezing.
I have no idea what the actual temperature was, but we weren't prepared at all. Northern Minnesota in the dead of winter, with appropriate clothing, is much more comfortable.

It is because humidity. Clothing is not so effective in humid air.
It's -4C now, forecast to be -18C overnight.
It's a warm day here.

It snowed a little yesterday for the first time since December or something. Which was nice.

Three meters deep snow, 130 km/h winds, hailstones the size of a tennis ball, seven meters waves, trees falling on the pedestrians ... That is the current situation in Spain. Like it. (Except for the last part)
In Spain???

Four meters, oh disbeliever.
Well it was near a skiing station in the mountains but still...
It's not really piling up out here either, but it's been snowing in great picturesque gusts for most of the day and now what snow has stuck is starting to freeze in the sub-zero temperatures.

Its been moderately windy here today, the met office gives 28 mph with 45mph gusts, but there is another 60m of hill sheltering me to the east where the wind is coming from. About 100mm of snow on the verges but a lot of it just keeps going. Must be some nice big snow drifts around. Supposed to warm up a bit tonight and turn to rain for a bit then stop so could well be a skating rink tomorrow. Dry tomorrow day then rain and snow in the evening.
I can see Dartmoor from my house where it will keep snowing until Sunday morning and it may get 300 to 500mm. Should look nice and white if the I can see it.
