Not trying to say your temperature is not brutal, single digit Celsius can be really nasty for humans. In Michigan in the USA, it can reach -20c in winter, and -40 with high wind chill. You learn to layer and use wind proof outer layers very quickly!

When I said the winter is brutal, I meant it from my perspective. I live in a place where temperature ranges from 15-35 throughout the year. From my perspective, winter becomes brutal when temperature falls to single digits. I didn’t mean to say that temperature lower than that didn’t exist or people don’t live in lower temperatures. Sorry if you felt offended by that, I genuinely didn’t mean to.

I wasn't offended at all, I was just sympathizing with you, but I must have expressed it poorly because I got those downvotes.

I really liked reading this thread, thank you for making it!

In the USA, there's a huge difference in winter temperatures across the country. In Florida they might consider it cold if it's 10 Celsius, and in Minnesota that would be considered very warm! It's really weird how much the human body can adapt and get used to a temperature. Personally I like it best at 50 fahrenheit / 10 Celsius.

Keep on making posts!
