I survive, but my husband thrives. He loves the cold. We vacationed in Virginia several years ago and I kept saying how I would love to live there, he winced every time I made that comment. He probably couldn’t make it through one summer-heat drains him. I get mildly depressed every fall even though it’s absolutely lovely weather... it means winter is just around the corner.
You are spot on about winter after Christmas-months of cold with none of the merriment. Oh well, God placed me here so I shouldn’t complain!
Have Heart! My husband is from the wilds of Pennsylvania, and couldn’t get used to the heat and humidity here in the DC area - much less the Traffic! And he loves snow, and wants to see it come often.
But lately we’ve been looking at properties on the Internet, and he’s showing some budding fondness for places like North Carolina - they have mountains! - and even Kentucky.
There are also mountains in Virginia :-)
Whisper in his ear: Shoveling snow is a lot easier, when you don’t get that much of it - or at least, it’s not endless.
