It's now officially winter. Even so, the weather has been quite mild and pleasant. Today was the first day that I could see my breath when I left for work. We've all bought new coats, but I've really been warm enough with just a sweatshirt or sweater. Kiwis tell me that there is generally about a week of really cold weather, but that's about it.
I've easily transitioned to the metric system for volume/weight/distance, but it's a little harder for me to convert temperatures to Celsius--I don't seem to have the same reference values internalised. So I've started thinking about it this way:
5 degrees = coat weather (and about as cold as it ever gets here)
15 degrees = sweater weather
25 degrees = t-shirt weather
35 degrees = beach weather
