London cold is a dense, damp thing. Seeps into homes & bones... seeps, settles, won't be sloughed.
London is (subjectively) the coldest place I've ever been. I've enjoyed January after January in Chicago (standing on an el platform in the dark of a subzero-F morning with a face full of windchill), brittle and bitter midwestern nights, razor-sharp snowy gusts in the alps... nothing makes me feel colder than a sunless & drizzly London spring day with the temp just above freezing.

yesterday was a lovely mid-70's F in Chicago. except that when i arrived at work, the building already had the A/C blasting, when it was still mid-50's outside. putting the internal temp in the upper-50's.
i spent most of the day coding in my jacket and hat, occasionally wearing gloves.
but after surviving "the day without toilets", i'm not really complaining.
BA flies 747s direct from London Heathrow to Phoenix Sky Harbor, everyday except Wednesday ...you and JJ should come visit. It's been a gorgeous February & March here, and April is looking beautiful as well.
