Why do I sing better in cold weather?

I'm a 15 year old male from Maine, and I've been singing for all of my life. Every time that I try to sing in warm weather, I can only reach notes that males would normally reach. My highest note in my falsetto is a couple notes above the B flat in Bohemian Rhapsody ("... for MEEEE!!!!"), and my highest note in my full voice is C5, which is also the highest note in "Who's Crying Now?" by Journey. The only time that i seem to be able to reach these notes is when I'm singing outside in the cold. Why is this?

Also, I don't exactly warm up before singing, which I'm aware is not the best idea for a devout singer like myself to do. Instead, I sing "Sweet Child O' Mine" in the same key and vocal styling as Axl Rose did on Appetite For Destruction. I know that everyone thinks that singing like him is the worst thing I could EVER do, but, it doesn't hurt when I do it; it actually seems to clear my throat and help me reach my high notes. Why is this?! I don't know ANYONE else who does these things like me! Lemon and room-temp water makes my throat all mucusy and hard for me to sing, and hot tea does the same. Soft Drinks HELP me sing! What makes me so different?!Why do I sing better in cold weather?
cold makes the vocal cords constrict, whether it's cold air passing over them or cold water on them. the constriction helps you hit those high notes coz after all, it's a tightly stretched vocal cord that makes a high pitch.Why do I sing better in cold weather?
maybe it's all in your body chemistry. Perhaps your vocal cords are naturally looser, and therefore you need to tighten them up to produce a more controlled sound? I don't know how these things work at all - no clue at all. Just a thought.Why do I sing better in cold weather?
Because YOU are Optimus Prime.
one thing i can i think of is that in cold weather your lungs open up more

Which of these top three Google weather sites do you think is most accurate?

(Or if there's another one that you know is REALLY accurate and lists rain by hour feel free to suggest.)



Remember when answering that the specific links given show for my locality, so if you're in maine and it's snowing or Florida and it's 85藲 right now don't change your opinion of accuracy because my link for NW suburban Illinois says differently!

Well, you can use this website to compare the stats for two of the links you have listed. The nice thing about this website is that it uses the local data. So you can see that at different locations around the country, you can see how well each will perform for that location against each other.

  • Doggie cold weather Field jackets?

    In April my dogs and I are going on a two-week backpack excursion in the northern part of Maine. I have one lab mix who has a thin coat like a lab and I also have a German Shepard mix who has a Shepard like coat except its not a thick because of a skin allergy. We live in N.E. and have survived many harsh winters. They both love to be outside and to play rough, so knitted sweaters don鈥檛 work so well. We have bought many jackets but they always seem to get destroyed on hikes or during play or don鈥檛 hold up in the wash.



    So far we have two different sets of doggie snow booties and two heavy-duty doggie parkas. From what I've heard about where we are hiking the weather changes often and dramatically so I want to be prepared. I have been looking for something that can just be thrown over the top of the dogs to keep them protected I have been shopping around and found two jackets that I like but I would like the outside to be water resistant along with a fleece interior. These are the websites with the jackets that are similar to what I am looking for

    I personally have no sewing skills and I don鈥檛 know anyone who is able to make something like this for me. So if you know of a place where I can order a few nice field coats for my dogs I would appreciate it allot.



    Thanks youDoggie cold weather Field jackets?
    Sure thing - two very good sources of dogs coats are Dover Saddlery, which has a waterproof turnout coat, as well as a separate fleece turnout that can be worn beneath, and a fleece lined coat - all modeled after a horse turnout.

    They are well made and not only fit well, but hold up to rough wear despite the price, as they are their house brand.



    Smartpak.com has a line of similar coats as well - although they don't all seem to be on their website.

    If at all possible, I would suggest a trip to the SmartPak store - they have a LOT of stuff there that is not on the website, and fit is important, although their customer service and return policies are excellent!



    You will probably find that layering makes sense - it is far better - if you can find them- to get the version that is just the outer waterproof sheet, and the add a fleece or quilted layer beneath is you find they need it. There is often weather that only requires the dog stay dry and have a windproof layer, and the added insulation is too much when they are on the move. You'll also have less to pack.



    The turnouts that just go over their back and shoulders also allow for more freedom of movement, and don't forget that their natural cooling process occurs from their belly. A well fitting turnout is far better than anything that makes an attempt at sleeves or has too much around the chest.



    and take extra booties - you'd be surprised how easy it to lose them, and if you have no spare tire... you'll find those at SmartPak as well - if you go there, ask about the upstairs 'bargain attic'!

    I'm thinking about going to college then moving to Maine?

    I heard that this state has beautiful nature, especially in the fall.



    1. Is Maine a good place to raise a family?



    2. Does it snow there during the winter? What is the normal weather there? Is it usually cold, hot? And does it usually rain or is it sunny?



    3. I heard that there are many old people there, is that true? Or are there many teens and children.



    4. Which city is a kinda small town where there are many children and it is safe?



    5. Which is the biggest, nicest nightlife city in Maine?



    Thanks! :)I'm thinking about going to college then moving to Maine?
    Whether or not it's a good place to raise a family depends on you, but I grew up there, and I turned out well. Yes, it snows in the winter. And in Maine, the winter lasts from about Sept until May. It's not snowing constantly during that time like some states, but it's cold. It gets hot in August, but you'd only have a few weeks of wishing you had air conditioning. There aren't a lot of people in Maine at all, but not a lot of people retire there because of the winters. Portland is a nice city, and the largest - it's nicer than Augusta.I'm thinking about going to college then moving to Maine?
    1. Is Maine a good place to raise a family?



    Yes



    2. Does it snow there during the winter? What is the normal weather there? Is it usually cold, hot? And does it usually rain or is it sunny?



    Cold winters and warm (but not hot) summers.



    3. I heard that there are many old people there, is that true? Or are there many teens and children.



    Lots of old people. The more ambitious young people all move away.



    4. Which city is a kinda small town where there are many children and it is safe?



    There are few cities in Maine though a fair number of towns. Since the young adults tend to move away, there are not a lot of kids in Maine. At least compared to the number of old people.



    5. Which is the biggest, nicest nightlife city in Maine?



    Nightlife? Maine? Nothing like New York or Boston. Maine is a quiet backroad where watching the sunset is exciting night life.

    How is Vermont and/or Maine?

    Im looking for a state to live in. To be honest I do not know which one I will check out but Im searching.

    Lets see weather is no problem so long as its not as cold as Juneau/Fairbanks Alaska lol

    I dont care to much for natural disasters.I do not want high crime rate.I do want Lots of nature,and easy access to it.If its a city I do not want it to be bigger than Eugene.I am in Seattle currently and thats way to big for me and more expensive than I;d like.So naturally I prefer small,safe,relaxing,cozy,towns. I love having some sun so I expect at least a sunny summer,in Seattle even in the summer its cloudy most the time which stinks.I want the town to be somewhat liberal or very liberal.I am a open minded,agnostic so.....yea I don't wanna run into a town where Id be hated for that.



    Got any ideas on some nice towns or citys in either Maine or Vermont.

    Tell me about them to please dont spare the details ^___^ tell me the cons and pros I guess

    Also how high are taxes and cost of livingHow is Vermont and/or Maine?
    Ah, you are really searching. My ex wife lives in Western Massachusetts, so I have spent a lot of time there. The country is beautiful, especially in the fall. But it is expensive, and the people are very up tight in my experience. I think you would be happier in Montana. Speaking of Montana, you might look at Kalispell up north. It is a growing town and you are just a hop, skip and a jump from Glacier National Park, and the Canadian border.

    Any really nice photo locations or ideas in this weather too and what are some of the nicest hotels etc?Winter Elopement and honeymoon ideas in Maine?
    You are going to have to do alot of research to find anywhere that is even open in Maine in winter.

    I just honeymooned there in September %26amp; things were already starting to go to "off season" hours. One really nice restaurant actually told us they close in November and don't reopen until April.



    You can try bed %26amp; breakfasts, but you'll probably have to call around to determine if they are even open. www.bnbfinder.com



    We actually rented a house on the coast overlooking the nubble lighthouse for the week we stayed there, it was GORGEOUS!! This is the real estate agent we dealt with for the rental %26amp; they do have some properties that are available in the winter for rentals:
