There's a reason I don't live in Fairbanks, AK any more. Don't miss those -50 deg. F or colder days, though Seattle isn't exactly warm right now. .

I really love living in the tropics.... It's almost like summer all year round. It does get cool this time of the year, but nothing compared to what you experiece.

I'm feeling your pain wgama! I had to drive out to work today in this weather, and I work at a nursery out of town so I have to drive on the highway!

I can imagine. The latest I've been up there is September and that was pretty chilly for me.
We had some chilly weather here 2 weeks ago. I had to wear a windbreaker. Temperature plunged to 63 degrees.

Here's some warm Aloha from Hawaii.

I could never survive! My toes start to go numb here in Florida if the weather gets to the low 40's

In this weather you get frostbite if you are outside with exposed skin for 5 minutes (and that's NOT an exaggeration)!

This September it was actually quite warm here; I believe we had a couple days into the low 90s F.

Wow, that's cold.

We're getting arround 0C-1C at night just now, frosts some mornings.

I just can't imagine how cold it must be where you are.
