Good Things About the Cold Seasons

i am glad it is finally getting to be better weather here in florida , now comes our summer . You can run your car without it being boiling hot and work after hours in the garage in the cool air . It basically is your summer here coming up . My stag or mgb wont get overlly hot. the wife will actually enjoy the rides <<< hahahaha yes !! I will take my florida winters ! You can have your fireplaces and furnaces .

I start sweating in late February and stop in early November. At 6'2" and 265# I am fairly well insulated. I HATE being hot!! I can't wait till fall/winter. I have been looking forward to winter for about 6 months. With the holidays it is by far my favorite time of the year.

Got to Miami, and it snowed!! The only day in recorded history that that happened. I wondered if I had made a horrible mistake. It worked out OK. Still hate the idea of snow, much prefer my Caribbean islands to the frozen northlands.

that winter it also snowed (measurable on the ground) in Nassau and in San Juan

All of you left out the very tasty Fall/Christmas/Winter seasonal beers and porters/stouts that warm you right up !!

One of my favorite cold weather things:

From Snowmobiles

I could do that, there's just no snow. I'd like to see the look on some guy's face when I pass him on a snowmobile, when there's no snow

I hate it. I've often joked that if I ever won the lottery, I'd build a house on the Equator, and never see the seasons change ever again. And here in the South, we don't even get snow! (well, Atlanta metro has an ice storm every year, but not like the snow I saw at the Indiana inlaws back when I was married) And I've mentioned my "sports father" elsewhere, so I'll just say the beginning of the American Football season's no help.

That being said, for the last two years, I've found something that helps me tolerate it a lot more than I used to. This woman absolutely loves the fall. She revels in it, and watching her be so happy gives me a great thrill. She's also a bit of a Goth, and Halloween with her is one of the greatest blasts of the year! It also helps that she hates the X-mess as much as I do.

So, if I ever go straight Blofeld on the word, I'll let y'all keep your seasons..

EDIT: "word" should be "world". Her 5yr old dropped something liquid in the keyboard again...but I don't care. It's a small price to pay.

Considering that, I may have to reconsider my stance on this whole "season" thing...
