Hey, maybe you guys will get another 4 months of this, and you can really build some character!
Just pulling your frozen leg.
Stay warm.
Ha! The good news is that this kind of weather only lasts for about 8 weeks or so. Frankly, I like having four seasons. Sure, it's a nuisance sometimes but "snow days" can be fun! And living in summer weather year 'round would bore me to tears. There's no way I could decorate the Christmas tree and listen to "Winter Wonderland" and "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow" while people are walking around in shorts and swimming. That would profoundly depress me. But, to each his own. :-)
Actually, if you want confirmation that a sunny, tropical climate kills brain cells, just go down to Florida and talk to many of the inhabitants.
