But in the argument about northern winter over southern summer: I can go out in both. I can do things in both. I will be uncomfortable in both, perhaps. But in Florida I put on my shorts and go out. Here I snowblow for an hour, shovel, spread 50-100 lb of salt, drive 3 mph and risk lots of accidents to go out. I can't wait to move south for good.
We are on Wachusett Mountain and this isn't helping their skiing. People prefer powder to ice sheets.

Honestly how many days a year does this Armageddon situation occur ? In Florida you can put your shorts on almost every day. However 90+ degrees and high humidity exists every day from mid June to mid Oct.
