When I was in Munich it was -19c. -18c is a sign of AGW.Originally posted by chef View PostI spent 2 years in Munich winters and -18C is nothing unusual. Get used to it and go buy yourself a decent coat and gloves from Sport Schuster just off Marienplatz in town, top floor.

Personally I have found that the thinner and fitter I get, the more my circulation increases and the less I feel the cold.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostEven I've got a jumper on in the office and I've already got a load of extra padding to keep my warm.
