Moderation in all things, something some folks have trouble comprehending.

If you live in Minnesota and can't handle sub-zero temps on a regular basis, try maybe - oh - Colorado. Or Illinois. Northern Kentucky. Southern Wyoming.

It's delusional to think that 90-100+ degree days with over 70% humidity for two or three MONTHS out of the year, will be any more bearable than -20 to 10 degree days with 4% humidity for a month or two out of the year.
Apparently I'm delusional! I went to the square last night for 2 hours from 5-7, then played golf today at 11:05 and ate lunch outside at Mallory. Hot, but all just normal stuff. My record low is -3, and it was one of the most memorable days of my life, because I was so miserable walking around Manhattan when I was 6 years old. Made the mistake of going to high school in New Jersey (yes, I had choices), and vowed I would never live in a cold place again. Been in California, Texas and Florida since. Can't imagine how miserable I would be going thru winter in Minnesota...
