Reasons to hate cold weather
I know I don't know what real cold weather is due to being raised in the South, but I can still hate the weather we get.
Reasons: First and foremost - static electricity. Seems like every piece of clothes I know is a mini Tesla coil. Second - dry nasal passages and dry skin. My nose turns upside down in the winter. I'm not a big lotion guy, but I'm forced to use it in the winter time. I've got another several months of dealing with both of these. Yah...

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
You need a reason to hate cold weather?
I hear ya on all you are saying. We don't get the static, much, but until about February we are all about dry sinuses and throats. After that, it is all about moss on the skin - but we have nice skin

Good to see your wife smiling and enjoying the 'cold' weather with you.

I WAS IN THE POOL...... The high today was about 31*. Seems as though winter is starting to slowly settle in for the long haul around here.

She has been wanting a fire, and was feeling pretty good this weekend so I figured it was time.

It was in the lower teens this weekend, felt pretty good to me. All you whiney old men need to put on a few more layers.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
I hear you on the tesla coil bit. My cat becomes a static discharge machine in the winter. Visible arcs are not uncommon from him lol.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
We have a local 4 star hotel, Marriott Shoals Hotel and Spa, that has a back patio with fire pits. They put up side walls in the winter to help with the comfort. Smoking cigars is welcome, too. We were there last night and it was 29º outside, about 55º on the patio.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
I'll share my static electricity trick - I know most of my coats were made in the Telsa lab, so I hold my pocket knife in my hand and allow it to ground on door knobs, door frames, etc. before I use my bare hand. You see a hell of a spark and very minimal jolt. It's almost routine now. Nothing like getting shocked on the lips when kissing your kids or wife though. It almost pisses me off.

Re: Reasons to hate cold weather
Another GREAT reason - Ice/sleet/freezing rain. We see so little of it in the South and when it comes, the world is in full stupid-mode. I've got an aggravating Bradford Pear tree in my yard that will undoubtedly succumb to any frozen precipitation. Potential hurricanes are bad enough - I didn't sign up for this mess coming our way!!
