Although it may be “seasonable,” this winter was typically cold in the city, I believe. Winter last year was definitely warmer.
Personally, I kind of feel the temperature around five degrees Celsius the “coldest.” Below zero degree, I don’t feel cold, but “painful.” I would try to minimize time avoiding the “pain,” and would not stand. This winter has been consistently around five degrees. It was a torture.
However, winter here does not continue until April like New York. Finally, it is gradually getting warmer. I see plum trees blooming. The bird “White-eye” is hopping here and there. Indeed, spring is coming. Bye-bye, five degrees! KT
