It's winter and my hands were cold. That definitely makes the veins disappear. They did use the back of my right hand with a small butterfly needle for the IV last week. When it's warm, I don't generally have a problem.

Having lived in San Diego and Pocatello, I'm definitely better suited to a cold climate. As long as I'm wearing a medium long sleeve shirt, I'm good down to around +34 without a jacket. I can tolerate riding my motorcycle around in +26F as long as the streets have no ice patches. The summer weather here is bone dry. I handle that just fine. Add a little humidity and I'm soaked to the skin with perspiration.
