Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

    Yes, and it’s not like you can’t experience temperatures that are not 0-100°F. Here in Sweden (and Finland) we have saunas, and I can assure you that there is a difference between 100 and say 110 Fahrenheit.


    btw, is there any word for “being in a sauna” in English? In Swedish we would say “basta” , which is mentioned in our dictionary (in SAOL and SO but not in the SAOB article from 1901) but Google translate fails to translate it. We also have the longer form “bada bastu” that translates to “take a sauna” but I really prefer the shorter form.
