It is so true, I remember a few years back we went for a week at Disney in Florida at Christmas, got there it was about 70 F which was balmy after leaving Canada. My son and I were going swimming...and in we went...funny all around the perimeter of the pool were other tourists in coats, sweaters, touques, gloves and pool towels.

I went to school in Buffalo, which might as well be Canada. When I moved to Virginia in January and lived there for a few months, I rarely wore anything other than a sweater. Then I moved to Kansas. Kansas made Buffalo feel like the beach during the winter. Whichever way you turn, the wind is howling in your face. Back to Virginia and sweaters, but within a couple of years I'd turned wimpy with my steely fortitude never to return. Now that I'm both old and wimpy, I spend the winter where is always 70+ degrees: Indoors.

When the temp hit 90+ at our home in Maine we would always travel to Plaster Rock NB and visit our friend Celsius. It was always cooler there........

Keep cool my friends. /
