Central Meteorological Observatory: Today is the coldest morning since autumn in many northern areas. Are northerners really more frost-resistant than southerners?

When it comes to the north, the first impression of the older generation is that it is cold, especially cold, and northerners are particularly frost-resistant, but it is not. As a semi-southerner studying in the north, most southerners around me are more frost-resistant than northerners. Even if the temperature is as low as MINUS 30-40 degrees in winter in the north, most of you wear less clothes when you go outdoors.

Why does everyone think northerners are frost-resistant? Because the traffic was underdeveloped before, southerners were in the south and northerners were in the north, and few people lived in the south and the north at the same time; Southerners of the older generation think that the winters in the north and south are the same, with the same house, the same quilt and even the same shaking hands and feet. But in fact, the people in the north have long invented heating and a wall made of two layers of red bricks, which isolated the snow outside and left only heating.

Before the internet was developed, who knew that northerners were so comfortable in winter? The average indoor temperature in winter is seventeen degrees, which is as warm as spring. All right! A northern child who grew up under such conditions, if you put him in the south, there is no heating and two-story brick walls, he can't stand it for two days. However, southerners are different in the north. They are used to the cold and damp in the south, and the wind in the north is really nothing.

Now the transportation is convenient, a large number of southerners drift north, and many southern students come to the north to study. Every year when it snows heavily, southern children who have never seen snow will roll back and forth in the snow and make snowmen with wet gloves. If northerners are allowed to roll in the snow, they are mostly reluctant to part with it. It is too cold. As soon as the two kinds of people are compared, they will know who is more frost-resistant.

Although the temperature is low in the north, the humidity is also low. It's dry and cold, so it won't be cold once the wind is blocked. No one will stand in the wind and blow. Most children in the north spend the winter indoors at 16 and 17 degrees. As far as frost resistance is concerned, it is indeed southerners who have been attacked by cold air who are more resistant to frost.
