Tell that to my purple, stinging fingers.

If you must know, it is 12 C when I can start having problems with stinging cold.

This thread is making my blood boil, (hotter than July in Austin )
with members basically arguing my troubles with cold are invalid.
I'm not responding anymore to this thread.

Being serious now, that weather....
Interesting, you don't have AC there? We mostly don't have it here either (ours was built way before AC was invented and it's apparently almost impossible to put ventilation into some of the deeper stations now) but I can only imagine how hot your subway must get...here's how hot ours can get (and this on the platforms, the trains are hotter):

No, we dont! subways were built in the early 1900 here so the A/C did not exist. Just imagine that hell with Buenos Aires summer, wich is 4 month of 80s-90s that feel like high 90s most of the time, outside. And the say subway is about 20 f more, so, yeah, add that to a sweaty millon people squeezed and, well, i bet not even cold canadian likes that kind of heat!!

I love the cold...so I pick Winnipeg. I would love being able to play pond hockey for 5+ months each year.

I give you three guesses to my choice, and the first two don't count.

Winnipeg all the way!

Winnipeg almost gets summer, but Austin doesn't get close to winter. So I vote Winnipeg.
