Weather Report

According to my flatmate, what I experienced today was a taste of REAL Aberdonian weather. It's really hard to describe specifically but I can provide instructions so that you can simulate the environment and experience it for yourself.

For this, you will need at least 2 participants and the following:

1. a huge fridge or a cold storage room (temperature should be about 11 degrees celsius)
2. a box of ice chips for every 2 participants
3. medium sized helicopter

Attire: Moist clothes (socks and shoes included) that are about 30% wet. How much or how little doesn't matter. You will still feel cold.

Precaution: Do not indulge in this simulation for more than an hour. Get into warmer conditions and change into dry clothes immediately after, lest you get pneumonia.

Instructions:

1. Participants are to sit in the freezer/cold storage room for at least 10 minutes to allow body temperature to adapt (no heat-generating exercises allowed because that would be missing the point of this exercise).
2. When you feel sufficiently "cool", start up the helicopter such that the propeller provides a constant gust of "wind" that almost (but not quite) lifts you off your feet. At this point, if your simulation is realistic, walking is still possible but with difficulties. Enjoy for about 20 minutes to experience the change from "refreshing" to "cccc...coooold"
3. To add the "rain" to the situation, pair up with another participant, stand at an arm's length from each other with a box of ice chips between the 2 of you. Start throwing ice chips at each other (hint: the face is a good target).

Ta-da! Congrats! You have experienced REAL Aberdonian weather!
