When winter comes, I..,
I dont think it gets colder than 20 celcius here.
But yeah over the years I have gotten weak. I used to be able to stand harsh cold temps.
Edit, I forgot my pro-tip
do a little dance

Pray that the summer with its 35°C comes before I freeze to death. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration since it is currently 11°C outside, but that is still way too cold for me :(

Personally I don't mind the winter and I actually love it when it snows.
As for the cold itself, I'll just say that I am perfectly fine in short sleeves while everyone else around me is shaking in layers of sweatshirts and sweaters :D
Try tea with a little bit of rum in it(yes, rum, alcohol, pirates) , I remember that one of my friends father kept drinking it during winters when he was going out and it was supposedly to keep him warm. It also could be an excuse as he was a recovering alcohol addict :|

I’m a Texan. I wear the only thick padded jacket I own if it gets cold enough for that, then wash it after a day or two when it’s hot enought to wear shorts

I hate the cold and I am sure not build for it so over the last few years I've treated myself to heated insoles, a heated stearing wheel and lately a big snuggy heated pillow I've attached to my office chair just to keep my feet warm. I will survive.

Mostly obvious stuff, but if it's really cold I'm wearing thermal underwear under my clothes and long wool socks. Having a good hat, jacket, and leather gloves with fur lining makes a world of difference. My house stays pretty cold, so an electric blanket is super awesome. And I don't have one, but I imagine a vehicle with remote start to get your heat running would be nice.

The winter cold has never really bothered me. I was born in the '80s in the hills of Northern Italy, we're used to have half a meter of snow in the winter and much more in the mountain towns and peaks, where part of my family used to live until the '50s when after WWII they were forced too to come down due to emigration, Allied war bombings and lack of resources and communications.
I'm totally used to Central European temperatures - today, we're at -3° for instance although it's not snowing or raining - and I simply put up my scarf, two pairs of trousers to go to work, a headcap and so on - I feel really good every time of the year here!
I can't drink alcohol, I obviously can drink lots of hot drinks if they don't include caffeine, but I don't feel the need to.. I just keep my home warm and everything really goes great! The only negative thing happens when there is too much snow and we have avalanches or, most of all, landslides that can damage both roads and infrastructures like gas stations or old houses in the mountains that have never underwent a good maintainance..
Unfortunately we don't have such a snow/winter culture like in Scandinavia, we don't have saunas (but lots of thermal pools always open and natural!) and such, or in Iceland, but still there are no problems at all to deal with cold and in summer we really never reach more than 30-32°, just if you go down in the Po plain you can get hot temperatures but here it's a great area to live in. I was lucky since my ancestors came from slightly distant areas like the top of the Appennines in Northern Italy and there well, they don't even have a stable Internet connection xD

Enjoy it, it won't be around for long where I'm from.

Losing warmth. So cold. Send rescue.
What method- intuitive or eccentric as it may be- do you use to beat out the cold?
From switching to wearing warmer undergarments to changing up your diet to occult rituals, I'm interested any changes or traditions you may have, however small or unusual. I mean, my self-survival may depend on your answers, after all. :shivers:
