Suck it up princess! It is all about acclimation!
Coming from a Midwestern Native... Chicago and Iowa winters... hurting? Man... the south has really softened you Bill.
Why not try on -45 with 50+ kt winds. That shit is cold. The occasional near zero with barely -5 windchills in the midwest is nothing.
To echo what other people feel - cold > warm. Why? Skiing, Snowboarding, Xcountry Skiing, Snowshoeing (yes this is the colder end of cold), Fall colours, blankets, fireplaces, hot chocolate... I could keep going on. |
it IS about acclimation - and i've totally acclimated to the south. and did it rather fast. its just so much more comfortable down here. there is no pain associated with weather!!

cold >>> hot
there is no relief from hot (i don't have ac). there is only temporary relief from a pool or shower etc. not to mention that overnight there's fuck all you can do about it.
heat's cheap and easy to get, and personally winter wouldn't be the same without the biting cold and then that soft fuzzy warmth of arriving home at the end of a long cold day. you've never had hot chocolate until you've had a day outside in 0 degree weather to finally come in to a fire and hot chocolate |
my gas bill in the winter is always more than my electric in the summer!! lol.
also, hot chocolate is overrated.

Space heaters ftw |
such a waste of electricty and money. i agree w/ Myra that it sucks having a drafty house/apt...because you do waste energy/money with it....but that's what plastic is for (i.e. see rob's thread on winterizing your house). that's a better solution than paying money for a space heater and then paying electricity for it to run.
but you wouldn't know anything about that living in socal. lol :P
