    My gf on the hand can't deal with the winters here. When it's cold out, she's basically wearing a burka made of jackets and scarfs.

    Amen. I grew up in northern Idaho when the winters were more exaggerated (more snow, colder- down to -20F, ). Contrasted with dry, 90s in the summer. Hearing about getting "all 4 seasons" pissed me off constantly. Snow/Cold. Rain. Heat. Firewood. Four @#$#%$^ seasons. :errm:

    Game of Thrones has been lying. For the length of time I have been stuck in Florida, winter never came. I don't know how much more time I can remain south of the wall before I snap and jeopardize my professional future.

    Spoken like the true homosexual that you are.
    Out of curiosity I Googled "Idaho weather " and supposedly even in January the average high is a couple degrees above freezing.FFS I've ridden my bike outside at -30C.





    Granted I crashed and almost died from exposure probably to be later eaten by wolves but at least I would have been a manly, albeit stupid and slightly incomplete corpse.

    Now at least I understand why you feel you need a gun to prwotect yourself.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    I don't even like riding when it's below 60.

    (Although I have done some group rides in some pretty cold, morning temps)

    There's a substantial longitudinal difference between the north and south of Idaho, Mr. Geography. I was stuck in the panhandle, for what seemed like an eternity. It was there I learned to survive the cold by randomly firing a couple hundred rounds of sporadic cover fire in order to heat the muzzle of my sub-machine gun- just to stay warm. Like a homosecksual would ever put that sentence together.

    I would gladly swap weather patterns right now (but you can keep the heavily armed scaredy cats who blaze away with weapons when people say mean things to them), it's farking freezing here right now.

    Unbelievable as it may seem, I live my life along the lines of the US. government.While aware of the actual facts I choose to ignore them if they get in the way of what I'm trying to accomplish.

    You may now sing God Bless America Me.

    Growing up in Texas, we go by the 68 F in the winter and 72 in the summer "rule". I am most comfortable at 72 as (even though I can break out in a cold sweat in 50 degrees just by thinking)...[/color][/font][/size][/QUOTE]

    +1 on the 68/72 here in very southern Ontario.
