Because we seem to be in the middle of a rather harsh
winter, we should learn some vocabulary to compliment it. Here is one expression you might see in
movies and on TV when someone has to go out in bad weather.
To brave the elements
meaning: to go outside when the weather is bad. This can be wind, rain, snow or pretty much
anything else. This is usually said because that person does not want to go outside or the person has just come from the outside and is happy to be inside.
examples
To get to
the boxing day sale he had to brave the elements for three blocks from the bus
stop to the store.
Maria braved the elements to meet her boyfriend at a coffee
shop.
