I don't know what the weather's been like for everybody else, but we've had an awfully cold two days here in Vancouver. Woke up to a -8 degrees Celsius this morning, and it was around -3 degrees when school ended. It was around -10 last night. FREEZING!! And this is November too! The heater's been on for the most of the day.
I've been playing piano for quite a while now, around nine years, and all I can say is that the worst thing that can happen to you when you're playing is when your fingers are so f***ing cold! You mess up on your scales and arpeggios, you can't hit the 32nd note runs anymore, and every piece goes spiraling out of control.
It's worse when you're playing a piece like Sergei Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor, Opus 23, No. 5:

I gave up practicing the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata because there was just no way I'd be able to play it.
I wonder if other people get pissed off by cold fingers, 'cause I seriously do.
