How cold do you feel?

[cjsmith]

I am firmly convinced that chilly is colder than cold. Cold hisses across your skin; chilly gets into your bones. Cold means a parka in the snow, and thin watery sunlight; chilly means trying to type with mittens in your office, and sniffles, and a deadline.

California has chilly. Of all the places I've lived*, northern California does chilly in the biggest way.

*eg Boston

Silly California girl! :)

I'm from the Buffalo area. We know from cold. You'd rather be chilly, trust me. :)

Winter around here never seems to end. Almost every winter, I cut fingers off a pair of gloves so I can type comfortably in my office building. Even at 70°, the house feels cold. Etc. :(

Thank God winter hasn't started yet...

Silly getting-into-a-contest-about-it girl. I've lived in Boston. I've spent time in Buffalo, and in Maine. I've been cold too. I *hate* chilly.
