How to Talk About Extremely Cold Weather in English

[@silviaestevez5569]

Its amazing to see how the river has frozen. Wrapping up ( similar to bundling up, no?) is the key to you staying warm. I've heard the term cold wave when there is a period of extremely cold weather I was looking up the terms you use, cold snap and cold spell, and I found that depending on the region, they use either of these three terms. By the way, spell and snap have multiple meanings as well. The same with the word tidbit, another new world for me. That is one of the reasons I love your lessons because as you speak naturally, we are learning new words and phrases in context. In one word = REAL ENGLISH.

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

I'm glad you appreciate the real English lessons. Yep, it's just me going about my life and teaching some words and phrases! 😎💰💵

Sliding on ice, the sound of walking on snow, the strange silence in extremely cold weather, the breathtaking patterns of bare tree branches against the deep blue sky, and the way cold air makes one aware of their own breath-this video brought back many details that transported me to my childhood memories.❄️☁️🥹 In the town where I grew up, the deep silence that settled over such weather allowed me to feel my presence in nature and reflect more deeply. This, in turn, helped me develop a stronger spiritual connection. It’s sad to know that experiencing this in the chaos of the city is no longer really possible. But thankfully, magical gifts like your video help bring those feelings back. Thanks a lot for this unique lesson! Have a great day! Bye 👋 😎 🌹 💐 ♥️

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

I'm happy I could help you relive those memories! 😎💰💵

[@unsalhakanuysal4889]

​@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadianI think your lessons contain rich layers that will provide many benefits in addition to learning English. Thanks for that! 💯♥️🌹💐😎👍

Yeah, those memories were a good part of why I moved to Northeastern Brazil where we are 84 degrees year-round. The other is my family. R.I. got very cold when I grew up. 😒

Seeing your own breath is a strange experience for new Canadians who come from warm countries! 😎💰💵

Hello Bob.Incredible that is a frozen river..!! I couldn't stand those down temperatures. Takes care Dear and thanks for exposing the topic in real life.God bless you.

[@sophiatsereteli5735]

Hello, Bob 👋)! Thank you for this snowy lesson ❄️ 💙! We have the same weather right now. And as you mentioned about your favorite trees, I remember my favorite trees near here in the forest. I love to hug the pine tree, it's not as huge as that you hugged in this video, but still beloved. Nature in the winter is amazing, when it's white 🤍 and snowy)!

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

Trees are just awesome. I've always loved them. I'm glad that you do too! 😎❄️👋

[@dhana7566]

Thank you so much man, as a new comer in Canada, this helps me a lot to easily integrate with the community and catch up with Canadian English.

[@Pouchy_inside_out_official]

It's very important to bundle up in the winter, otherwise you will get cold or frost bite so make sure you have warm clothes on your body. To be warm you should have 3 or at least 4 layers on your body. I love seeing my breath through the cold weather, there is some magic in that. Whenever I go outside I try to take my thermos with tea. Thermos helps me to keep my tea hot. One more thing I love about winter is feeling a frost breeze. Sum it up, I'd like to thank you, Bob for a nice and useful lesson. Watching your videos I get better and better with pronunciation and grammar, whenever I watch your astonishing lessons I find out the new words I would have never known about. And the most integral part of watching your videos is that I can use phrases and idioms I got from your channel, specifically wherever. Consequently, I try to spend as much time as I can learning the basics. I have no doubt whatsoever that it will be precious and necessary for my future. ❤

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

I use my Thermos for my tea as well. It's amazing how well it keeps it warm for most of the day! 😎💰💵

Thanks a lot, Bob the Canadian, for another amazing English lesson! Now I know how to tell my foreign friends about my cold winter! Greetings from land of long winters and snow, Siberia⛄☃

[@ЭльвираЛюбежанина]

I’ve been living in the south of Russia for about 20 years already now , but I spent the most part of my life in the north, I was born in the far north and I remember wearing many layers of clothes under the temperature of - 40 to about 60 degrees Celsius. It was really challenging!But we, children, always had many nice and cool things to do. Thank you, Bob for reminding me of that time😊

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

Even when it is extremely cold, I think it is still worth being outside for a bit. I'm glad you got to experience extreme cold when you were a kid. Not always a nice time, but good memories! 😎💰💵

Hi, Bob! I am from southeastern Siberia. For me, when it's minus 10, it's not that cold) But when it's below minus 30, I would say it's bitterly cold)

I know people who have "their" trees, they hug and talk to them from time to time. In childhood, we had one favourite tree, quite big and spreading, and we often climbed on it. We called it "The monkey tree" (for some unknown reason). Unfortunately, today it (or should I say she or he) doesn't live any more, it was old enough already then. Best wishes

I was a little worried seeing you jumping on the ice because I dropped into an icehole in a frozen pond when I was a kid and that scared and frozen me to die.😂Thank you for your video. Feel so cold across the screen.🥶

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

It was below zero for so long, and waaaay below zero. I know the ice where I was easily thick enough. I understand though, because I saw my Uncle fall in near the edge when I was a kid. Luckily it was only up to his knees! 😎💰💵

[@UBrittesEnglish]

Bob, hello. How do you know it is safe to be and walk on the ice?

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

It has been extremely cold for 2 weeks. After 4 days of it being below -10c the river is usually safe. Also I only went on a spot where I knew it is very shallow underneath. If I had fallen through, it would only have gone up to my knees! 😎❄️👋

There are two things a would like to talk about cold weater in my part of the world (Republic Karelia north-west of Russia).

Second one a long time ago i saw elderly people walking outside when it is really cold covering whole nose with a hand (in a glove for sure) preventing freezing their noses. It was not looked cool, but people done that. Nowadays i do not see people walking like that, even if it is really cold.

[@Ismail.7...]

Hi Bob. Another great video, I really enjoyed it! The walk by the river was awesome, but I do have to ask-why did you jump on the frozen river by yourself? 🤔 It seemed a bit risky without anyone with you, especially with how cold it was! I’m sure you know the ice well, but it made me wonder. Thank you 🌼

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

Two things about that. 1. Jen was watching me. and 2. The river where I was jumping is very shallow. If I had gone through it would have barely reached my knees! 😎❄️👋

Hi Teacher, thank you for the lesson. In my country, we don't face that kind of weather. So, I was wondering if I could know how it happens with pupils or students who have class when it's bitterly cold even black ice on the roads. Do they just stay at home or manage to go to school?

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

Sometimes, if the weather is really bad, we have what is called a Snow Day and students stay home. (Teachers do too!) 😎❄️👋

[@Kircaldy]

Hi Bob, I think I've already asked this but I can't remember whom and when 😄 But did't get an answer I don't think. So, is there a noun in English that defines negative temperatures, below zero Celcius? So, discussing a weather back in the day when it was like -2, -5, or -10 or whatever minus, you can use that X word for negative temperatures to say e.g. 'it was X this Monday'. You can think of it as an extreme opposite of 'heat'. I've just thought Canadians might know and use such word if there is one 😀 Thank you!

[@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian]

We always use the word "minus" or "below zero". It was -10c. It was 10 below zero. You can also just say: It was 10 below. 😎💰💵

[@Kircaldy]

@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Nice! But what if we are not talking about a specific temperature, in degrees, but sort of the general concept? So anything below zero Celcius, is there a word for it? For example, will a word like 'frost' work? And is it commonly used in that sense? Or is there another (or maybe there isn't really)? Forgive my nerdiness! Thank you 🤓
