Wellington is NOT Cold

okay to put this into perspective, Wellingtons lowest temperature per winter id around 22 degrees fahrenheit or -3 degrees Celsius, Meanwhile where i live in western Canada the lowest temp we get is around -31 degrees fahrenheit or -35 degrees celsius, and i myself as an individual do handle this weather better than most people who live around me since i only wear a shirt and jeans and they chose to bundel up but still of you think wellingtons cold then you dont know cold :p

  • To a Georgian or a Floridan, it's cold.

  • Yes... There's the temperature, and then there's the Great Lakes - there's a reason the area is called 'the snow belt.'

    Plus, it's not nearly as much about being cold as being able to get food...

    Ummm... If that's a hydrocarbon reference... They wouldn't go away after a year or two. The change in CO2 has long term effects, even if all production stopped tomorrow. (Hence some scientists saying the Earth is already going to be irreparably changed...)

    Of course Wellington isn't as cold as other places, but TWD is set in the southern US, so it's about as cold as you can reasonably expect.
    And not to be overly mean, but you've given everyone another reason to never want to live in Canada :)

  • That weather to me would freeze my ass off.

  • For me, -3 Celsius would be something like the Ice Age...

    The coldest temperature we get here on my city is 10~12 (during night/morning)

    22 seems a little high for Michigan. Are you sure about those numbers?

    *Upon farther research, I have concluded that you are pulling these numbers out of no where. While I could not find temperatures for Wellington, I found temps for nearby Alpena, Michigan, whose monthly average low temperatures in December 2013, January and Feb. '14 were 9, 4, and 0 degrees(F). **Source: http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KAPN/2013/12/25/MonthlyHistory.html

    NO DAMMT IT IS. I can live in the coldest environrments.... The isoluation in my New England rooom was borely done, so our pet mice went into hybernation... I was used to that. Not to mention my massive blubber protects 10% to cole while sacrificing mobiliity and (if your rpg is like that...) destorying 'attrativeness.' I grew up making forts and digging tunnels in piles of snow! Then engaging the neighbors in pincer formation with our assenal of snowballs...

  • I like the cold weather though and im lucky cause the snows around 2/3 of the year

    Fair enough.
    The coldest I've ever been in was 17 degrees, up in the mountains.
    Where I live, winter is not real harsh, especially since it's the desert.
    However, one thing I've definitely noticed is that our winters here have definitely become warmer, then they were 20 years ago.
    That's global warming for you!

    As far as hot, the hottest temperatures I've worked in, outside in the blazing heat, was 120 degrees.
    True story!
    I used to clean pools for a living.
    Would wake up at 3:30am, and leave for work around 4:30 am.
    Normally I'd work a typical 8 hour day, although sometimes I'd be out for 12 to 14 hrs.
    The only good thing I can say is that our climate here is not humid, like it is in the Midwest.
    We normally just plain old dry heat, which is fine for me.

    My uncle, who's originally from North Dakota says that winters there are so cold, that when he used be doing farm work in winter, he'd have little ice cycles hanging from his mustache.
    My cousin, who's originally from North Dakota also, gave a similar account.

  • Last winter in Chicago we had a full night where the temperature dropped -20 degrees. I couldn't feel my toes or my fingers

  • i got it from google searching, and don't hold it agaisnt me for not knowing the geographical location of most of the states, ive only been to North Dakota and Florida but i only went to Florida to get on a cruise ship, i do know that twdg game does take place on or near the east coast in the south but thats about it lol

  • You changed your pic!!! THE HORROR!!!!

  • Haha I won't hold it against you. It just seemed odd that a town in the north's lowest winter temperature would only be about ten degrees colder than the lows we get in the desert.

  • And there's been a winter here where it was -50. Literally.

    But I guess that's because I live in Canada.

  • Snow tires are non-existent in the southern states, so schools have to be shut down when the roads get snowed or dangerously icy.

  • The coldest I've ever been in was like -18 degrees, the hottest I've been in was 101 degrees. I live in Pennsylvania, we get hot summers (May-October) and cold winters (November-March.) I can hear Kenny saying "cold ass winters." So, I'm somewhat used to really cold weather.

  • what province or territory?

  • -2 degrees Celsius is not extreme cold, i go for 30 minute walks in a light hoodie in -40 Celsius (wind chill included) and im fine

  • plus the whole Celsius conversion to Fahrenheit and vice versa makes it extra confusing to get it perfect :P

  • LOL dude, i live in ohio, and it is freaking cold here in the winter, and Wellington is north of Ohio. So....

    Not to mention the complete absence of emergency services such as salt trucks when the roads get icy.

  • I live in California. Not just that, but Southern California. I don't know cold. I don't even really know hot. But Clem is from Georgia and Kenny is from Florida so the cold would probably suck for them. Not to mention they don't have the comforts we have: time to rest, a bunch of blankets and clothes to pile on, etc. Food and walkers and other survivors would be the main issues, probably.

    Really? I live in Iowa (Not too far from Michigan) and this winter was below zero for the whole month of December and January. ITS COLD

  • Try Canadian praries lol Saskatchewan theres not a mountain to be found so the wind is harsh, not to mention the insane cold we already have :P

    Are you serious? -31C damn that's cold, i can't stand 10C x.x But if you really want to know how does hot feels, come to Sonora, México, we had some weeks ago 49.5C

  • It may not be the coldest place ever but that temperature is enough for snow to fall, so yeah it's a cold place.
