What do you "assign" to the Shire?

It is wonderful! We went out shopping and such. Everyday since Saturday, it was bloody cold until today. We still went shopping, but I took off my ski jacket the first place that we went to because there was a warm breeze. It was amazing, and quite a surprise.

How do you survive in such cold weather!?

Hibernation, of course. Haven't you ever watched nature documentaries? Everything in Alaska hibernates, including the sun.

That's not cold. I don't think anyone from southcentral Alaska has ever been in the 'cold'. You'd have to go up to Fairbanks or some such place.

Oh yes, we totally hibernate in the wintertime. That is how we are on the internet in December.

I suppose you must just get used to the constant below-freezing temperatures in winter after a while.

...it's nicer in the summer. But yeah, you do get used to that. It's not so bad. The bad part is the six hours of sunlight in the winter.

Steve, it's constantly below freezing in New York as well. So the freezing point really isn't a good measure of Alaska.

I mean, tomorrow's high here is supposed to be -6 C, with snow. Today's high was around -7 C. And while it's cold, I don't consider it really cold until it hits -26 C.

I'm totally with them: if it had been above freezing, I'd have been wearing a light jacket.

Well, I meant that freezing point is a good measure of the UK. We are really quite a warm country considering our latitude.
