Been 4 years now without snow or cold! The folk here put on a stocking cap and a sweater at 72 degrees. I actually love the cold, but I don’t like to be cold. That smack in the face when you first walk outside. exhilarating!
But, as you said, there is something to be said about not shoveling snow. And when you visit the north, the little-peppers can sled and make snowmen.
