It's cold as fuck in Europe.

This right here.

Wind is always the problem.

You can go outside in the morning after it has snowed overnight. It's literally freezing, but it does not feel cold to you. Because there is no wind.

As soon as you add wind into the mix, you are ice cold.

I moved to Germany from Mexico in 2010, I went to college here, got a degree and a job and everything is going rather well.

this winter though, it is the first time I've considered giving up this place and going back to Mexico, I've caught a cold 4 times since november... I am going through the worst right now, I feel absolutely miserable.

-11° here in Vienna. On one hand, sure it's cold as fuck, on the other hand, so what? No point in crying about stuff like this, instead enjoy it and/or make the best of it.

Basically no wind though. Last year the danube froze, it was much colder overall

With a flu since saturday... feel like my body is fucking falling apart. I could make buckets of the stuff I released in the last few days from every single fucking hole.

-12 today, actually, that's normal for the season. :)

Last night I played a football match while snowing. First time in my life (Barcelona here). It is ideed cold as hell, but I'd take this weather over summer any day.

Yeah it's pretty fucking cold in London, perfect for an evening 10k run!

Went out for a 10k this morning. First mile or so was a bit brisk, but was nice after that. Also no wind, which is far worse than the cold.

Yeah I don't want to go to work tomorrow. Gonna be hell...frozen over.

It was -10 C in the morning and although I took the car to work (because of the cold) with the heat on, my hands and feet still froze because it wasn't able to warm enough in the 20-25 minutes I took me to get to work.

Dundee here, light snow on the ground but it's coming down thick. Today is the day my shoes have told me there's a hole in them.

Around -7 degrees in Copenhagen this morning and i'm fucking loving it. It's almost cold enough for me to not sweat when I bike to work.

Fucking christ I hate this cold so much. -20 celsius now.

Used to winter by now, so it doesn't bother me too much. It mostly feels weird to have mid-winter temperatures when it should start to become a bit warmer.

It's been -10 for a week in Stockholm, which is not too extraordinary. We usually get a few weeks like that each winter.

They've given out an orange weather warning for incoming snow here in Ireland, so we are expecting it pretty bad. A lot of the shops (Dunnes/Tesco) have fully sold out of milk and bread last night too.

You'd think it's the damn apocalypse lol

Can confirm, never seen it snow this much while still being sunny.

I was hoping to wake up to snow and no work, but instead it's blue and sunny (even if it is -1). Our highest chance of snow is tomorrow though and would love for my son to see it, not holding out much hope though, we never get interesting weather down here.

At the moment it's -9 here, but there is barely any wind, so it's pretty ok. Yesterday at -6 with a lot of chilly wind was way worse. It's really not that bad and the winter in 2012 was way worse when it was basically around -9 for 14 days straight.

Here in Dublin is alright although we were told it will get bad either Wednesday or Thursday.

-18 right now in Riihimäki Finland. I don't mind it too much, yet. I start shaking with closer to -30. But it's not like I'm planning to go out now either. Haven't had a need for long johns this winter.

I do appreciate winters, I like that we have so different weather here depending on the time of the year. And snow is beautiful on a sunny day.

rather -10 than around 0 tbh...

I don't give a fuck how cold it is until wind gets involved.

It cant be cold as fuck in Europe when just yesterday it was 20ºC here in Galicia, Spain lol

At least at noon temperatures are flirting with 0° here. As I don't have to go out often, the cold doesn't really botter me. Just need to make sure my home office is warm before I start, or my fingers go stiff before I've written three words. (That's the problem with central heating, when it's hot in the living room the rest of the apartment doesn't get heated, and as the sun blasts trough our windows, it get's hot pretty quickly in the living room. And I'm to lazy to go tune every individual heater :P)

I find this more desirable than the blaring heath we had last early summer. It's way easier to heat your place than it is to cool it off (I don't have airco). Generally I prefer a good 25 degrees above everything else, but I can't stand the heat when I have to work and can't go out.

-10ºC, clear sky, full sun, almost no wind. Could be worse.

3°C here in Madrid with chances of snow

I've woken up to an insane amount of snow here in the north east of the UK.

How cold is it? It was actually -33 here a few weeks ago

-20 this morning, still walking 35 minutes each way to work every day. Might consider taking the bus if it drops down to -30.

I hate this

-5 here in Belgium. I was in Sweden a month ago, had a few days that were only as cold as this. :lol

Then again, I also ran around in -30 while there, so -5 isn't too bad. Just gotta dress appropriately. At least there's no fucking wind.

Man that is so hard to read for some reason. Did I see a -32 in Sweden?

-36

time to break out the long johns, gonna be a chill factor of -20c today

I'm not working today. Sod that.

If you're British, you know how this goes.

I really prefer this cold. Usual winter in many parts of southern Sweden is mud, mud and more mud. Also rain.

Only -6°C this morning at Grenoble in France. That's okay.

Panic buying in Wales. Over 100 schools closed, lots of road closures.

It's only -4 with 1 overnight light snow.

We can't handle this shit.

-5C this morning in the East of England, fair bit of snow too, obviously it's colder elsewhere, but the UK doesn't deal with weather like this very well, so everyone is losing their shit.

If I hear "The beast from the east" once more, I am going all 'falling down' on their asses.

Yea, it keeps snowing over here.

When will this shit end :D

As someone who grew up on the East Coast in the US, calling this piddly little snowfall the "beast from the east" does seem a bit ridiculous. I was expecting a lot more. It's barely sticking and I'm in the north of England. Not sure what the panic is all about.

THIS

My face and ears are getting BURNT by the wind outside.

It's the wind. It really is so annoying. I generally don't mind when it's just cold, but the wind blowing into your face constantly is what makes the cold unbearable.

-6 degrees in Copenhagen, at least where I live. I can't belive I biked to work in this weather. My face was about to fall off.

Here in Athens it is sunny and warm right now. Actually it feels like the hottest winter ever.

Northern Greece is a different story...

-5 here in Paris

-10°C here, but sunny and no wind. Not really that bad.

All this cold, and here I am wearing a T-shirt and light jacket. On the downside, I basically melt come Summer Time soooo... ups and downs and all that :P
