Thank God I was in Puget Sound by then...I remember even as a kid hating the COLD...snow was all right (until I had to drive in it), but I hate cold. You can cool off when you're hot (in a pool or AC), but when you're cold, there's not clothing in the world that adequately warms me.
LOL!
I HATE being cold too!!
HATE IT!
I cry when I can't get warm! LOL!
That is why, when my wife asks whether I miss Iowa and haven't been back for 14 years, I answer resoundingly, "NNNNNOOOO WWWWAAAAYYYY!"
I dealt with it for 27 years and that is long enough. Besides, about the time I might be thinking about going back, we get hit with a couple weeks of snow here and I remember.
