This is too funny. My wife is exactly the same ... she loves winter fashion and claims it's the best time of year for her wardrobe.

I hear you. Guess my point I was trying to make is they all have pro/cons.

That said, I couldn’t live way up north. I like winter, but a shorter one. I miss having all 4 seasons.

It's extremely difficult, no doubt! Skin exposed for just a few minutes won't end well. I can only imagine how many cases of that occur since it doesn't typically get this cold around here (in comparison to other parts of Canada anyway).

I can’t do cold, can’t do humidity and after going to college in AZ I can’t do scorching hot summers so one bubble of coastal SoCal is what suits me best. Probably why I’ve lived within 10 miles of the hospital I was born in my whole life (minus college). Love traveling around the world but south OC will always be home.

I’m in Hawaii with the family and the winters here are pretty perfect too.

A lot of people from my region move to North Carolina. Lake Norman north of Charlotte. It’s a great area but unfortunately I am and always will be a fish out of water in the south, except south Florida which is full of transplants.

For me winter doesn’t get painful until like late January, Feb, March. By February I start thinking of heading to Miami/Naples.

It's too cold in the great lakes to even snow!!!! I haven't locked my car doors in a couple of weeks, the locks are frozen and I'm afraid if my remote battery dies, I won't be able to get in my car.
