I feel the cold more now that I’m old but it’s only a matter of putting on warmer clothing …or staying in my nice warm bed a bit longer. 
I love to look out on nice snowy scenes but that’s a rarity around here over recent years. The ads on TV show Christmases as being ‘white’ that seems a myth these days. There were only 6 during the 20th century and one in the 21st from what I read. I can remember there being some quite mild Christmases though
It was never fun being in the cold and wet when I was working. Nowadays, I can sit indoors in the nice and warm instead, unless I have to go outside.
As we age, we become less tolerant of weather extremes.
I am at the stage where I am loathing the hot weather.
Staying out of the direct sun as much as possible.
Hate it, I like warm Autumn Days.
Being a runner for over 45 years, training was everything to me. The weather became unnoticeable, if it was a run day, I would be out there in whatever the weather threw at me. Wind, rain, snow, heat, in fact I rarely gave it a thought. Always shorts, and in the really cold conditions, thermal vest and waterproof top and that’s it…Every Sunday on my long run of at least 15 miles I have run in sub zero temperatures, thick frost lining the verges and trees, Icey puddles to avoid. It seemed like I was in my own little microcosm of warmth looking out into a winter world. Running over frozen ground was actually easier than walking over it, only a runner would know this.
Life is harder now, being unable to run for any distance it’s hard to find the right clothing to wear in the cold weather. It’s so cold when I set off, so I need some good upper body clothing, but after a mile or two and doing some jogging, I get over warm and sweaty.
The cold air on my chest sometimes brings on angina like symptoms, and I have to go easy, but then I get cold…
Bretrick is correct when he says the cold is relative, but it’s also relative to what you are doing at the time. Trying to do precision work on a machine in a cold factory was difficult, and the heating systems were quite ineffective when the large doors had to be opened regularly for deliveries and despatches. No such problems now I’m retired. But walking or jogging in freezing conditions really makes you appreciate the central heating when I return home.
Visiting seaside resorts are a must in the winter, empty sea fronts and restaurants (the few that remain open) and the parking is free throughout the winter months. The sea is usually very dramatic, crashing up the cliffs and marine drives…
I do enjoy some snow, especially around Yuletide! I very much appreciate it isn’t everyone’s idea of fun!
Hey! Maybe we could have a competition and make snow people of other forum members! 
Nice ones of course…
I agree, in recent years (over 50s 
) I’ve become intolerant of extreme weather conditions, always looking for shade in the Summer, not being able to tolerate those high 30s temperatures anymore!
I hate very cold weather too, I feel the cold much more now than before. 
Sorry Chili, I’m already “out” of the competition, I just can’t see myself becoming a snow person 
We lived on the Braes of Angus and it was pretty cold in the Winter. Sometimes I had to wear my coat when we went to school.
I do my utmost to stay out of the scorching sun these days.
No suntanned body here. 
Different folks for different spokes. We enjoyed skiing in Glen Shee in the winter time.
I tried to find this place but could not. I thought I should have heard of it given that I grew up in Kincardineshire and my parents retired in Angus. Perhaps near Montrose?
Sounds east coast - so hit by the freezing wind direct from Siberia. Yes, a coat might occasionally be needed. Long trousers were not permitted in my first two years of primary school. I had a coat but my knees were raw red.
Of course, my apologies, you’ve mentioned Kirrie before (Peter Pan town). Very much the region of loons & quines. And cold winds.
Yes, I am one who enjoys the very cold weather. It makes me appreciate my body getting colder, then into the house to warm up with a hot cup of coffee, and warm socks!
When I lived in Florida for eight years, I absolutely hated hot, humid, air conditioning everywhere you went.
Give me winter any day! Oh wait, it’s coming soon to a place near me 
Ah … playing with snow is another thing entirely …
Yes, Kirrie but loons and quines would be from Aberdoniuns…
