      I understand, it’s just a weird behavior from a southern Europe point of view: when it’s cold outside we close the windows to keep it out.

        Also weird from my UK point of view: it’s fucking freezing out them I’m not opening the windows. I do get that it’s nice to have fresh air and you can always put the window in the vent position, but even when it’s really cold you can feel it.

          To be fair: Every single appartment/house stayed in in the UK was so poorly isolated that it felt fresh and cold already when entering a room with outside walls/windows. In Germany/Switzerland many modern houses are basically pretty much airtightly sealed and well isolated

          Some people open the windows for they cool fresh air and turn on the heat or set the fire place.

          I’ve read some time ago that in some region of the world it is normal to leave a baby outside in a crib (bundled up, of course) in freezing temperatures or around freezing temps. Seems to provide some health benefit. I imagine the temp is not too far below freezing.
