I'm still fighting it a bit by wearing skirts, with leggings. :)<br /><br />Being from the US, I grew up with Fahrenheit, miles, pounds, etc. But after moving to Finland 16 years ago, I've gotten used to Celsius, kilos and such. However, I pick and choose which to use. Celsius for temps all the way, it just makes sense. However, I go back and forth from kilos and pounds for my weight. And whenever I have to drive somewhere, just tell me how long it takes to get there, I don't care about the actual mileage. :D JustHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373768249873098150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-15446234408924078462015-09-17T11:18:08.463-04:002015-09-17T11:18:08.463-04:00Yep, comforter on!

I was about 12 or 13 when we made the switch, and I think a lot of people of my generation still switch back & forth between the systems. I tend to think in terms of ounces & pounds vs grams & kilos, for example (and I think most people still do, when they talk about their own body weight) -- and find myself converting kilometres in my head to miles when we're travelling. Dh & I have always used the Fahrenheit setting for our thermostat -- although we are pretty comfortable using & thinking in Celsius terms when looking at the weather, and knowing what it means. Of course, our proximity to the States means we still see & hear Fahrenheit temps being used on TV, etc., and I find myself providing conversions for my American friends when I write/talk about the weather. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-56407113851481709242015-09-15T18:57:58.562-04:002015-09-15T18:57:58.562-04:00I often think that I'm coldest on cool summer ...I often think that I'm coldest on cool summer mornings, because I can't bring myself to put on socks or a sweatshirt, and definitely not the heater. Your temperatures would be about the same as I would tolerate, except that we don't have air-conditioning. Generally it isn't needed, though our bedroom is for some reason the hottest room in the house! (Sigh, heat rises).<br /><br />Question: In your post you used Celsius, but in your response you used Fahrenheit. Which one is used in Canada? Or are both?Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-70788609924300841922015-09-15T15:05:30.308-04:002015-09-15T15:05:30.308-04:00As I was driving through a beautiful tree lined ne...As I was driving through a beautiful tree lined neighborhood earlier today I had many of the same thoughts. It was 55F (13C) when we woke up on Sunday....I took the dog for a walk in shorts and a t-shirt and thought it felt wonderful. Hubs insisted we put the flannel sheets on the bed though. But now it's hot again.

We keep the a/c at about 73F in the summer, and the heat at about 70-71F in the winter. loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-4565107142330139022015-09-15T11:53:31.705-04:002015-09-15T11:53:31.705-04:00Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how that happen...Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how that happened too.
