This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Around here temperature varies from under -30c to over +30c depending on what season it is and construction workers still wear them every work day.

I'm guessing Canada. We get similar temp range in north central and north eastern US.

I'm in the Rocky Mountains, and our range is -15C to 40C (5F to 105F), and I wear my steel toe boots to shovel snow in the winter and garden in the summer. Oh, and I wear the same wool socks in both seasons, which keep my feet warm in the winter and dry in the summer.

Parts of the US (and probably Canada) get to -40.

Many boots now use composite fibres for toe and shank protection simply because of the problems with metal and cold.

Welcome to Quebec, if you're unlucky you also live in a region with high humidity so the temperature felt ranges from over 40c to under -45c...
