Cold weather doesn`t age you .. you ever see those wrinkled prunes in Florida, the sun does way more damage.
My self I prefer the cold you can always throw on some layers.. when its hot as **** theres nothing you can do to cool off .(at work) Being in HVAC I suffer so much more in the summer outside. My tools and the equipment gets so hot you can`t even touch it, I sweat thru many shirts a day, can`t see with sweat dripping down my face, come home completely drained, my office staff hates summer cause I`m not a happy camper.. actually one of the big reasons I got a boat is so i could cool off on the weekends.
To me this has been the best winter ever.
As long as you know how to dress I don`t see the big deal.

You're a sick person.

I agree though, Florida might be a little extreme with the humidity, bugs, and what not, but I definitley wouldnt mind somewhere ''MILDER". IDK, maybe Tennessee or some $hit. California is out, too many earthquakes, fires, and PP wavers, Texas is all steers and queers... SO cross those 3 states off the list.

Hey now! Jumping cruiser wakes on a 12ft deep lake is a good reason to have a 41 Apache with #6's and dual ram race trim tabs.

-18* just north of Detroit this morning and -24* at the cabin near Oscoda. I have never seen temps like this before in Michigan.
