Love everyone's perspective on winter weather. I am a Texan, but hubby is in the Air Force so we move around a lot. Right now we are in the DC metro area; however, the last two winters were spent in North Dakota with minus 40 degree weather for weeks on end. I don't care for that sort of cold weather and snow covered ground for 8 months out of the year. Give me a warm sunny Christmas day and I'm a happy girl.
