Word of the Day: Bone-chilling
It’s been cold!
Wakayama is supposed to have a subtropical climate, so what the heck is up with all the snow and bone-chilling subzero temperatures?
Yeah, bone-chilling.
Bone-chilling weather is so cold that even your bones feel like they are freezing.
Russia and Canada have bone-chilling winters.
I know I’m Canadian and supposed to be some cold weather specialist, seeing as how we live in igloos, and everybody rides a Skidoo or perhaps a dog sled (this is sarcasm).
All Canadians love snow, right?
Nope, that’s not true!
That is a stereotype, and it’s wrong!
But this is Wakayama!
One of the best things about living here on the southernmost tip of Honshu is that it’s not supposed to snow!
When people think of Wakayama, bone-chilling temperatures are not the first thing to come to mind.
I’ve had enough of this bone-chilling weather.
It’s so unWakayamalike that I can feel the cold in my bones.
