"Ope, yeah, theres another car." Is so comforting sometimes
‘I don’t know what I’m doing, but that person has to know what they’re doing so I’m gonna follow them’
A personal favorite of mine
And the general way to drive in almost whiteout conditions
Plot twist: both are in the cornfield
Meanwhile that car's thinking "Oh this guy's following me, must be going the right way!"
I call them travel buddies if we're going the same way. I seriously get sad if we have to separate before my destination. 😢😂
@@Type_blazenil😂😂😂 oh well- we'll get there eventually
“Would you look at these views?”
Brother, it looks like another planet
It is jus normal for this time of the year. We go 60 mph on the highway in the snow, a few inches do not slow us down.
The ice planet of Hoth.
@@bikerkat01Thats why I hate leaving the Midwest in the winter! Snow does not mean go 5mph speed up damnit! 😂😂
@@Thursdayschildfar2goYou mean North Dakota in mid January…
@elenachristian9860 yeah just the Midwest.
“It wouldn’t be so cold if it weren’t for the wind” I feel so called out. I said this the other day in a store parking lot when it was really windy
I mean it's true!
If there weren't 20kmh winds I could be in shorts and a t shirt but noooo
Yeah a nice day is when you get out and it’s a calm January day but still 10 degrees
It's so true though
I moved to North Dakota for a couple of years for a job and learned the true meaning of "wind chill." And I grew up in Alaska! Those prairie winds are something else.
Nebraska in the summer: it wouldn’t be so hot if it weren’t for the humidity!”
YES!!
I’m glad you guys were able to take advantage of the nice weather to record this, before it gets bad out.
this video is from 10 months ago
What if it wasnt 10 months ago. What if we were midwesterners
before it gets bad out 😭 you got it spot on
😂
The ice scraper choosing you is crazy accurate. I have no idea where mine came from
that applies to north idaho too... to this day i have no idea where mine came from... it didn't come with the jeep
@@HolzMichel rofl right? In Kansas it’s hot as hell half the year so I don’t see it then it seems to suddenly show up around November
Mine was a gift
Mine came from walmart i needed one and it was the last one on the rack
Mine was handed down to me from my father with my first car, and a trusty blade it is
"It wouldn't be so cold if it wasn't for the wind (literally -9)" gives the same energy as the floridian "it wouldn't feel so hot if it wasn't for the humidity (literally 108)" and I find that strangely comforting
OK, but the first time I felt what 99° was without humidity, I wanted to fight someone. It wasn't even that hot! (from Texas, not Florida, but I spent half my childhood in the piney woods, where you need gills to breathe and air movement is a myth)
@LuccaAce I once went to the actual desert and was like "wtf is this sh*t? 99 degrees? BULLSH*T! I'm from south AL/FL panhandle. I know 99 degrees and this is nothing. Weatherman got his facts wrong".
Lol, I live in Alberta (often referred to as the Texas of Canada) and it's extremely arid here, but was born in Quebec. When I was visiting Quebec 2 years ago for a family event, I was damn near dying in my suit 😅 thankfully I brought a change of clothes so right there in that synagogue bathroom, I changed into a T-shirt and shorts... and was still dying in the heat.
Quebec in the summertime taught me that nighttime doesn't always cool things down; you're still constantly slightly too sweaty and suffering, but now you can't see a damn thing; a danger considering the state of Quebec roads.
When I got back to Alberta, we had a heat wave, ~32°C (somewhere in the high 80s Fahrenheit), but the humid heat had conditioned me well lol. Plus my aunt taught me about the wonders of a tower fan.
Very grateful we don't have to deal with humid summers here. Sure, with humid heat, everything is much greener and brighter and you hear the lovely calls of birds and cicadas... but you constantly feel like you had to shower yesterday (even if you just showered).
Dry weather isn't always the greatest; wildfire smoke in the summer means we have to keep the windows closed even during a heat wave, and winter has you itch your hands raw and bleed from your nose, but dear god humidity just intensifies things all too much.
@@rainbowlack here in Calgary the weather is so unpredictable like it just snowed in lake Louise and was pouring for that past three days but just two days ago it was +30 but suddenly in September it’s gonna be -30
@@thesupertoastikr I've been so cold all day lmao😭
"There's another car!"
Such a relief. What are the chances BOTH of us were guessing where the road is?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I'm from SC, but this feels like home. Just slightly different view
Just a few weeks ago in the foggy snow I saw a car driving the complete wrong way on a road with a large(10+ ft.) median and could not understand how they thought our side was the correct lanes to use. It’s a miracle we ever use our actual lanes in winter in the Midwest, we should really have heated roads or something to prevent all the packed snow or ice that makes the road markers and lines invisible.
😂 so true
“It’s not a turn signal. It’s a blinker” lived in Michigan my whole life and I don’t know it was called anything other than a blinker… it blinks..
I didn’t know calling it a blinker was a midwestern thing 🫠
guess what. From the East Coast and we call it blinker too. I swear people from the Midwest always think they’re way more special and unique than they actually are 🤣
@@jessicab331 it’s not. From the East Coast and we call it a blinker too

@@jessicab331 i am chill? Im not screaming, I am not crying. im not upset. made a simple joke comment. sorry 🤷🏻♀️
"We'll lean in your window when you're trying to leave." I know it was the first joke, but I'm crying, it is SO TRUE.
Cute
Ikr? This is sooooo true lol.
I think it's only the rural areas in Missouri because people in the KC area are often like, "why are you talking to me, why are you coming near my car to talk to me". Not a lot of trust or openness in the cities, sometimes for a good reason. Every once in a while on the border of the suburbs/rural border I'll get the two finger wave. It always warms my heart to come across neighborly people. But sometimes if I'm like that in certain areas near me, I get uncomfortable looks and reactions. But I still get enough kindness for me not to feel completely isolated. It seems like the most friendly places around here are the post office, parks and trails and people you see out with their pets. Lol
Actually, it’s because it’s warm in the car and we’re just warming up our hands.
The whole video was actually my dad💀
"NICE BLINKER BUDDY" -my midwestern dad on a daily basis
Midwesterners are so kind. Here in Maryland I regularly mutter “nice turn signal as*hole”.
43 year old lady Okie here. I also say that. 😅
Same for us Germans! Blinker is correct!
Same word used for New Zealanders. Some times we call it ‘indicator’.
“its not the cold its the windchill” and “its not the heat its the humidity” are midwestern mantras 😂
And every year we’re proven this to the teeee lmao
Same thing with Upstate New Yorkers. We are a completely different breed then the citizens in the city. And if you look at the map Upstate New York is on the same latitude line as Michigan in Western New York is right off of Lake Erie so we get crazy wins and Lake Effect snows all the way over to the Hudson river which is the Eastern side of the state. Keep in mind that Lake Erie do the Hudson river is a 5 and 1/2 hour drive
it's true though! when you got all those layers on you can't even feel the air until it moves
Without the windchill, it'd be positive 4 instead of negative 4.
Hahaha as a Canadian this is relatable.
So true and that’s why I love living in the Midwest!
The "ope" was the most accurate part of this video and this video is spot on. 👌
Yep, my Grandma from North Dakota.
I didn't even hear it lol but apparently it's a Canadian thing too, and I say it constantly, so it wouldn't register to me as anything out of the ordinary😅
The "ope, shoot" 😂
I say this so often it just spills out my mouth without realizing it 😂
Im from Oklahoma and I can confirm everything they said is true
"We don't know if we're driving on a road or a corn field." So true...I once drove a half mile into a wheat field during a ground blizzard. I turned into a prairie trail thinking it was the road home...😂
How did you find out?
I've driven in Minnesota, there are grooves in the pavement so you know about the intersection coming up.
So flat...hard to tell, summer or winter.
im Californian and we drive on the wrong side of the road and the car is probable stolen lol
Two new terms! A prairie trail and a ground blizzard! Well I ain't never!
I don't have corn fields, I have a cemetery. There's no road lights but there's 1 light on each side of the cemetery surrounding the road. I pray I can see the lights at least a little then try to stay the right distance away from the lights.
We're Midwesterns - it takes us 45 minutes to say goodbye.
We're midwesterners - When we finally leave we'll slap our knees and say Welp!
In my small Minnesota town it takes an hour to get anywhere because everyone stops to talk. The visit concludes with "I suppose".
@@TheDowntownHermit-xj6rq Leaving my parents' house on Christmas - I did the "Welp, time for me to head out." I spent 20 minutes putting on two shoes because we remembered a vague fact from 1994 and had to look it up to see who was right. Another 15 minutes with jacket on in the kitchen as we discussed various recipes and who actually originated my dad's potato stuffing and my mum's Stollen recipe. Then 10 more minutes because you gotta have fresh coffee for the road, of course. Which led into some convo about best rifles against wolves vs deer (parents live on a farm in rural Wisconsin). In between all of these, we hugged good-bye at least 3 times as I worked my way from the living room to the driveway - a span of 20 feet. Welcome to the Midwest :)))
It actually takes 3 hours 😂
45 minutes? My husband's best time is double that.

Can someone explain to me exactly WHERE the "midwest" is?
@Wcduc the Midwest is the eastern central region of the United States encompassing the Great Lakes, and stretches between roughly Ohio and Minnesota from east to west, and northern Michigan to Southern Illinois. And as someone who lives here, everything these guys said are absolutely true and I never realized so many of these things are unique to here until these guys mentioned it
edit: idk what constitutes as the "midwest" anymore so please just leave me alone about it now haha
@@AlkeralexExistsdon’t forget the people in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas even though we aren’t we still consider ourselves midwestern states
@@AlkeralexExistsI just now learned it's not a blinker anywhere else.

From Winnipeg MB this is hilarious and accurate 'it wouldn't be so cold if it weren't for the wind' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was confused if I was a secret Midwesterner until the cargo shorts and beyond 😂 False alarm, I AM a Southerner.
Yeah because as southerners, when it hits 60 degrees, it's time to break out the jackets.
I might wear capris when it gets to 50° in the spring because then it feels like it's warming up, but not when it's snowing out.
I don't break out the cargo shorts until the temperature hits 50F.
Saaame! Lol
@@mommy2librasAin't that the truth !! I am a Midwesterner raised by two southern parents. Y'all are cold-blooded ! 😂😂
Do Midwesterners BBQ during winter like we do in Canada? I'm guessing...yes. 😂

Absolutely! My husband is out there now in shorts flipping steaks. ❤Chicago

The midwesterners to your north are the same 😂. ✌🏼from Saskatchewan
As a Canadian, I’m convinced that Canada and the Midwest are the same place.
They basically are, the accents even get closer to stereotypical Canadian the further north you go in the Midwest. The "oh you betchas, dontcha knows, ope, tell your folks I sez hi" gives off America's hat vibes
Canada's just the UPPER Upper Midwest.
Except one uses the metric system and the other is weird af, and that’s coming from an American
@@thisguyJoshua so many mechanically adept people in the Midwest that the metric system is in use in the Midwest.
we accept you
Honestly though....the WIND! really does make a difference!
I get two numbers in the winter: The air temperature, and the wind chill. In the summer, it's the air temp and the humidex. I'm outside a lot. They make a big difference.
@Thalanox I used to work in a big greenhouse/ nursery complex. Oh boy I watched the weather like a hawk lol. Only in michigan so just barely a Midwesterner but er get some wicked weather off lake michigan. But on a sunny cold day the Temps in the greenhouses can pop up from low 40s to high 90s right quick.
So when people say dress in layers lol that's an understatement 🙃
Yesssss!!!?
Wind Chill factor!
Totally. I dress for wind chill factor. Starting around Christmas.
Canadian here, can relate. It's been near -20C all week so finally I broke out the winter jacket and it was a balmy -9 and I was sweating in the car. I had my window halfway down on the drive home
😂
You're a northern🇨🇦 mid-westerner👍🏼
Same, lol
Did the same thing in Alaska and would grab soft serve ice cream for part of the drive
Yeah, balmy is the word LOL
"We'll lean in your window when you're trying to leave" 😂😂😂
As a Midwesterner, I can confidently say this is 100% accurate 😂
Same
Same
Very accurate
Yep
Same
As a Canadian: can confirm. Also, "it's not the cold, it's the windchill" is only matched by "at least it's a dry cold" (laughs in Albertan).
Oh, yes, guilty as charged: I've said that (Minnesota)
Dry cold good. Snow so much easier to move.
Hey just cuz you see another car doesnt mean its a road 😂 yall could be meeting in the cornfield 🤣
😂
Good one! :D
Or on the ice.
Sounds like midwestern dating. "Hey baby, meet me in the cornfield 😘'
"when a body meets a body coming through the rye"
The wind one got me 😂😂😂 the amount of times I’ve said and heard this in my life lmao
Yup! and "It's not too hot when the wind isn't blowing flames in your face." (its 114 outside in Missouri)
Minus the ones about the cold/ice/snow, my Southern heart feels right at home.
And it's not the heat, it's the humidity.
Ha!!! Awesome John Candy/Cool Runnings reference👍
Hell yeah it’s the humidity, thank goodness summers finally over
Floridian here...and that is true.
90°F/5% humidity in Arizona versus 90°F/90% in Florida isn't just about proximity to an ocean or the equator.
Part of it is that humidity is more common in lower elevations, like Florida, but that lower elevation actually intensifies the humidity, too. 🫧
im from south Carolina, and this is 100% true for me, but with the cold/ice/snow stuff, because i go to ohio during the winter sometimes, and im fine
@@EyeSeeThruYou Jacksonville, FL is just as far south as Cairo, Egypt.
Omfg. The facts being spouted here. We 100 % do all of these. The "only cold because the wind" and the cargo shorts.....those hit hard!! 😂😂

Lol....we just got our first snow and still are those wearing shorts. Def a midwest thing. heh.
IT IS A BLINKER
That's what I always heard. (Midwestern dad.)
I’m from the east coast and I’ve always called it a blinker. Not sure who doesn’t
@reuventyler3346 "Turn signal" is what they call it in the south. Don't remember what they call it in NY, NJ, MD, etc tho. Probably because they never use it. 😁
I'm from south GA and we say blinker. I've only really heard turn signal from police or teaching somebody how to drive.
@dl7562 I'm in SE NC & hear "turn signal" 99% of the time. And agree that it sounds more technical.
Ooooh🤣💯🌼 Especially the Ice Scraper part😂😂😂
As a midwesterner living in the south yous guys’s shorts make me feel like I’m home again… thank you
As a ex Midwesterner all I remember is an ish load of cancellations. / Bc no 1 wanted to cancel anything. Things like ice, then an ish load of snow on top, & then hail had to happen before anything got cancelled. Bc that grounds isn't melting anytime soon. But id be driving through walls of snow & squished out dirty snow like wow those walls r getting tall. That or not even able to open to front door bc of being snowed in. & Laughing at neighborhood friends attempting to walk the slope of driveways. Bc that's not happening. But my bro used to put rocks in those snowballs too

Nothing wrong with that. But I have fibromyalgia & arthritis soooo I'll get you a blanket & you can spend the rest of the evening cuddling the cat.
Also fibromyalgia hates cold. I'd have to live in an underground sauna or something. Then not come out until summer. Or maybe ever if there's good internet.
And that means it’ll be 30 minutes before we even get our coat on in preparation to leave
Hahahahaha!! SO TRUE
Germans do exactly the same but saying "So..." or "Na dann!" Means the same, like a motivator for oneself to get finally up.
I never understood not just saying "Bye, go home :)" Is it rude or something?
"In the winter, we drive around with the AC on." lol so true.
I know I do-for real. In Ohio.
Some Modern cars technically use the ac unit when defrosting to dry the air for less moisture so it can be so
Or you could just turn the heat off. 🤷♂️
Or crack the window. Lol
That didn't make any sense. I put the heat on and sometimes take off my coat in the car after it warms up, because I hate wearing my coat with my seatbelt over it, it's uncomfortable.
Thank you for pointing this all out, I've moved away to the other side of the world and I reckon I miss this. Forgotten all about these wonderful laid back ways of kindness. Keep it real eh 😀
That "reckon" stayed with you😊
People that move here experience culture shock but then, decide they love it!!!
This was so good!❤
Every single winter I inevitably make small talk with another midwesterner about the wind making it colder 😂
It's like in our blood to say that it's just the wind chill (actually said that and it was -7 out XD)
As a Texan that moved to Illinois and eventually Missouri. After 20 years, 'Ope' is officially in my vocabulary now.
You need to mix it with some "y'all" to keep your Texas cred. Extra points for "all y'all" or "fixing to".
I just learned that this is a midwestern thing, (I live in Michigan) and now I notice me saying this 24/7.
Dude, literally half of this is relatable to the south. I’m convinced the Midwest is just the south with a different accent and ice fishing. 😂
Missouri for my 40+ years of existence.. I didn't know "ope" was a thing until recently then realized I have said it for as long as I can remember.
My friend has lived in Texas his whole life and I’ve lived in Colorado my whole life recently we had a few days were it was in the negatives for multiple days and this mf texts me “it’s really cold here I’m freezing “ I mean I can’t really say anything during the summer though so
Left Oregon in my 30’s to take a job in Indiana. These guys are 100%! I keep laughing out loud as they tickle my memories. On my first day there a colleague explained why there is no spring. 😂😂😂

Yeah Indiana you have your winter... Then there's second winter. Maybe a third....
It's like this, cold, barley snowy in December. January, at least two weeks off of school and like 3 feet of snow, February, more winter, March, more winter, April, more winter, may, more winter somewhat warmer.

Midwesterner here, in NJ. Been trying to leave permanently for a long time, between things happening I had no control over. I am basically your neighbor, because the way I've been viewed and treated here has been so incredibly severe. As if Im a freak! It has been the most painful, unforgiving place. People on a daily basis treat me like I'm stupid, like I'm a fool, and look at me strange. Getting people to make eye contact in passing or say hello or "I'm sorry" is a real rarity. I'm finally about to leave for the final time, and will never understand how cold and ruthless people were here. I was excluded and rejected from age 7 to 35, and I tried everything in vain to try to fix this. There is no fixing but to leave. No offense intended. These are indeed 2 EXTREMELY different cultures. I never understood this one, and they never understood me. It has been so harsh and aggressive here.

Same. Light jacket, no socks. Bring gloves in case of a break down, but don't wear them. Window open, heat off. A balmy breeze. So the wind chill is -20, I'm from hearty OH stock.😂

I was gonna say the same thing! Except here in Nova Scotia you take these things and combine them with the traits of an alcoholic Boston fisherman.
It didn't even occur to me that that's unusual, it seems natural to say sorry but no they can't hear you lol.
I may as well be canadian, with how often I apologize for being in the same aisle as another person.
This just gives me more confidence that “Midwesterners” and Canadians are the same people 😂
One is... somewhat better-armed than the other.
People will state differences about Canadians and Americans, and clearly they're not talking about Americans from the Midwest because we have some similar stereotypes.
As a midwesterner I can approve that this is true.
You wills fit right into rural Canada too, in the prairies where I grew up, without changing a thing! ❤ 🇨🇦
@@fluffytail6355 i live in midwestern US and have been thinking about moving up, and this just convinced me
The stop sign blowing around madly in the wind 😂😂😂
Lol fun video. Love the, " we don't know if we're driving on the road or a cornfield"!!! Love the dancing street sign. Midwesterners must be a lot of fun!!!!!!
Unfortunately it's very accurate. Just driving blind 😂😂😂
It would actually be warm if it weren't for the wind
That's no lie.
Have your ever been out in 9° weather with no wind? It actually doesn't feel bad
@@liamgavinwellsThis is so true. A sunny single digit day with no wind is actually really nice.
It was -5 the other day with no wind and it was genuinely nice, even felt a little warm w the sun shining on my face.
Then the temp rose to 28 and the wind kicked up a few days later and I was miserable outside. It really is the wind lol
It sounds stupid, but it's sooo true
We’re midwesterners of course we have a bag of bags (in my case 2 bag of bags)
Yes!! I have a "big bag" bag and a "knapsack" bag
Yup, that's my mom 🤦🏽🤷🏽
@@bumblebean9845i assumed they meant grocery bags...
Put them in a bag and have a bag of bags of bags
Not even from the same continent, but same here. At least 2 bags of bags at all times
Greetings from the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. My grandparents, their siblings and my father were Midwesternrs. Great people with a lovely sense of humor and common sense.
Great video!
In winter we drive around with the a/c on because we're wearing too many layers. 😂 can confirm. 100% true.
And if you let the car run for a bit you get steamed like a crab in there lmao
Can i ask why you don't just crack the window? lol

"Wouldn't be so cold if it wasn't for the wind? I say that ALL THE TIME!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Common saying here in Pontiac Michigan 😂❤
Yep! Michigan here! 😎
Yep born and raised in Iowa and now an Indiana resident.
Lived in the south but keep coming back to this.
No clue I was so Midwestern lol. The Great Lake State is so east for me to say or do many of these, but here we are. Detroit is Midwestern 😂
Michigan love😊❤
I'm a Midwesterner, I don't wear socks until the snow flies. And even then, there's gotta be like 2 inches of snow!
@@whatupdoemia right back to ya from Detroit! 🥰
Hysterical. I love you fellas! Hugs from East Tennessee.
"Fella must be a FIB" had me rolling!😂
What's a FIB
Slang term for people from Illinois@@jakesplace62

What’s a FIB?

Real talk said, "what's a turn-signal?" Out loud. I forgot that a blinker is a turn-signal! 😂😂😂
"Oh yeah, there's another car." 😅
But what if that car is ALSO on a corn field? 😮😂
God, they days of the Gorman gps betraying us and telling us we’re in a cornfield and then we’d have to check 🌽 🚘 🌽
This is literally how we broke our driveshaft and got our minivan with freshly-cut Christmas tree on top towed back to town.
This was so dang comforting ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Australia also calls them blinkers lol and this distracted me enough to make me think you waited until it was 30°C (86°F!) to switch to cargos 😭😭
So do most of Canadians
The absurd part is that we put our jackets on once it gets down to 50° in the fall. By the end of the winter we're all just so desensitized to the cold and then spend all summer trying to readjust to the heat. For this reason I want to start saying "it wouldn't be so hot if it weren't for the cold". Also these mfs set the indoor thermostats to 80°F in the winter. I feel like I'm more likely to get a heat stroke in the winter than the summer here lol
@@lore_the_legend80? I'd feel like I was basting in my own juices. Good grief!
I'm a little more conservative, I wait until it's 50F to put on the cargo shorts.
@@lore_the_legend desensitized, acclimated, it's kinda on that vein.
50° F in the spring is getting chilly
50° F in the fall or winter is dang pleasant.
Too many layers to turn the ac on 😂 I had the windows down last week in -30 I was sweating
😂❤ yes
I'm in California and have been known to turn on the ac when it's cold outside bc I had on too many layers. 😅😅😅
Yeah, I’d never turn the AC on when I can just put the window down and it’s colder than whatever the AC could do.
-30' sounds wow , just wow 🥶
I put the window down too b/c my A/C is broken - I'm a Midwesterner!! LOL
As a former FIB, I agree with this whole video! The turn signal is a blinker. The tv remote is the clicker.
We kept a snow brush propped up next to our grill to clean it off when we wanted to grill streaks or brats.
Tell your folks I said Hi!
interestingly we call im Blinker in germany too :)
Omg ive never met someone else call it the clicker. It truly must be a Midwestner and German thing!
It's a clicker in NY too, even a roku remote, a fan remote. Everything is the clicker. But my mom's fam is all OH, so we might be the exception. 😂
Flipper is another one
What's a FIB?
I love thisssss. Born and raised in Wisconsin this is so real 😂😂
Were Midwesterners we complain about the winter being to cold and snowy than complain about the summer being to hot
We’re Midwesterners, we wave at fellas, even if we don’t know em.
Totally me
Lake effect, baby. Super humid summers, super cold winters.
*too
Gotta admit, any place that freezes solid under -30° temps should have no business being 102° four months later.
Okay. I let the window down instead of the a/c. The girl get hot flashes. 😂😂😂😂.
I turned the AC on when it was -9 a couple weeks ago because my windows were frozen shut lol
Tell your folks I says "hi" 😁
Ope, watch fer deer
And take home the leftovers
yer folks* lmao
You betcha
Oh yeah bud
Great voice! Keep singing ✨
As a Michigander, I can confirm this is true
Same 😂😂😂
I live in Minnesota, and I don't know how many times I have gotten stuck in corn fields cause I can't find the road.🤣
It gets foggy like that sometimes here as well. i ended up in my neighbor's front yard one time because i miscalculated where the side street began. Now i mostly just avoid driving in the fog if it's not absolutely necessary.
Non Americans will be so confused at the 30 degrees joke and I love that
also -9, where -9 isn't that cold in celcius but in fahrenheit to celcius it's -23 degrees
They will?
Yep! 30 Celsius is lovely and warm! If I hadn’t seen the snow I wouldn’t have known it meant cold ! Uk resident here :)
@@escapetherace1943disagree still cold unless you are from north canada or similar places used to that cold
@@romainsavioz5466 brother it isn't "cold" until 0 fahrenheit. Then again I'm far north but still lol, people are such wusses in the cold
OMG. This is completely accurate. 😂
