I don't think I was ever so cold as I was in England in November.
Thanks for the peek at your weather map - I similed - all those above-freezing temperatures make me envious. And rain! Wonder when we'll see rain again. Looks as if the Netherlands tends to be warmer towards the sea, colder inland... Which I suppose makes sense.
our cold feels rather cold. It is often windy and watery, if it is a nice crisp cold with a bit of sunshine I feel much happier than trough the windy fog.
But the coldest I've been was in Venezuela of all places. It was cold (snowing) we were in the Andes, we had left the rainforest and moved up the mountain and we got wet and sat still basically. And when we got on the top we could "warm up" in a drafty extremely smoky hut where we drank hot sugarreed juice (disgusting).
Then my sister and me got a lift to the next village, my parents had to wait for an other car. I remember sitting in the bathroom of the restaurant, rummaging trough my backpack finding that all my clothes where wet. (And there I was, with my younger sister, speaking little English, without money, not knowing when my parents would show up and only wet clothes. I was much braver then!) Oh so cold.
