How you going to survive winter?

[FBi7]

Got my log burner and my flat cap. I'll be fine.

I'll be dusting off my Selk’bag (sleeping bag suit) for the worst of winter. No need to heat the whole house just myself.

Worst case I'll charge up my EV for 5p/kwh in the wee hours and lounge in that. Has heated "leather" reclining seats, biggish screen for streaming services.

For sleeping just put it in camping mode to keep the HVAC on all night. DreamCase do a double bed set for the rear if it gets that bad

Open all the windows and overclock the **** out of my PC.

It gets down to -20C where I live. We just get on with life.

Luxury, I work in freezers at -27 when I'm not outside. You know the UK falls apart though in anything more than a heavy frost.

You trying to reverse the temperature outside or something.

Any strategies for it,

we live in a temperate climate, what strategies do you need?! worst case scenario you might have to buy warmer knickers and maybe drive a bit slower. hardly need to create a strategy!

I’ve skied and been to Sweden where it’s been so cold if you take your gloves off you start losing sensation in your hand almost immediately. It’s never that cold here - occasionally I’ll get the merino base layers out but for the most part a decent mid-layer and wind/waterproof jacket = great success.

We dont have proper winters or cold here. I went on a weekend away to Ljubljana in January. Temps were -27C. Many layers of clothes involved and male thermal tights under jeans.

You could throw water in the air and froze instantly and never ever ever touch any metal outside with bare skin.

Winter is a great time to be a furry.

I remember in uni in the 3rd year in a shared house we tried to save money by not turning on the heating so I bought 100 tea candles for £1 from the Pound Shop and would light 4-5 in the evening. I close the door to my room and it's enough to take the edge off.

But when I wake up in the morning I could see my breath in the air inside my room. It actually feels warmer outside the house!

I doubt it's going to ever get that bad!

Hopefully I can burn some of the petrol in the 50 jerry cans I have to keep me warm.

Reminds me of the use of small paraffin burners you put in a greenhouse

That's some serious dandruff.

Ruff, ruff, ruff.

 

[cheesefest]

Have baked beans and kebab meat curry. The lasting effect will keep you warm….

Rekon ive got 5oo litres of Heating oil (minimum delivery) although the house never gets really toasty, a very warm excel winter wetsuit, and good walking gear so pretty sorted hobby wise. obviously 3 flakes of snow and the county will shut down

 

[Graetzbridge]

Lovely dog

That he is. Handsome without a doubt. But more importantly is his obedience and his lovely nature.
And his winter coat!
