Damp and cold is worse to me than just cold, below freezing cold, and they don't seem to believe in heating their homes here.  It was 17 degrees last night in this house, Celsius.  I have a fire going here this morning.  Felt like camping out last night.  

Some faint sun today at least and the wind has abated.  Driving a Toyota Yaris at 130 kph on a windy day is entertaining.

That car is complete junk in my book, the transmission is crap as is the clutch, and it has no power, duh.  130 is near max.

We winter camp all the time, but it's not quite the same down here. :)

Still, many times we've been camping with overnight lows below freezing.  Typically days will get up into the 50s though, and a couple might hit mid-60s.

You don't want to do that.  You'll lose your kidneys.

Per British historian John Keegan, the French settlers of what is now Canada were unpleasantly astounded at how cold it got.
The Norsemen who came there and made it Normandy thought that northern France had a nice climate.
OTOH, read U.S. soldiers' memoirs of WWI and you see a lot of complaints about "dud weather."

Problem is when you are done hunting for the day you want to warm up & eat fast.Well if you camping in the cold it doesn't lend itself to that.Winter camping is fine,just not coupled with the other though I proved I could do it.Prolly the worst  week of vacation I ever had but got a glimpse what the Mountain Men trapping went thru - no Bears though

Near freezing, no sun, and humidity, not pleasant, with little heat in this house.  Have a fire going at least.

Three years ago we visited Verdun in December, that was worse, speaking of WW One.
