My ancestors grew up in the brutal cold of Siberia and the Yukon Territories of Canada. Temps of -40 to -65 or -70 below were not uncommon. I carry this bloodline to this day and have a strong tolerance for bitter cold.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
Your ancestors also drank. HOWEVER, that is neither here nor there.Originally Posted by n2ize
Looks like we will be hit with cold, sleet, freezing rain. You know, the kind of stuff that coats trees and power lines.
I like this cold weather. I am enjoying it. I am certainly not looking forward to the hot, humid, sweaty summer that seems to go on forever. I'll take the cold weather over that horrid stuff any day. Now, there was a time in my life that I liked very hot weather. But these days I prefer it cold to hot.
If it doesn;t snow or rain tonight I might even do some barbecuing outside this evening. Barbecuing is another thing I enjoy.

I love hot weather. I can go to the flying field and fly RC, go to the gun range and shoot, and sit on the deck and drink cold beer. Ahhh..
We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.
Four seasons is nice. Missed the snow in Florida. I also like when it gets hot and the women start trying to get cool.
I think we've had about 20" of snow so far this winter. About 17" more than last year, but still much less than normal for around here. So I'm told.

I can do all those things in very cold weather. My ancestry goes back to Siberia and the Yukon territories of Canada. I inherited a strong tolerance for cold weather.

That's cool. My ancestry hails from Arthritis so I have a deep seated hatred of cold weather. I thought seriously about moving to Hawaii but I know i would go nuts there after a year, Oahu is the most affordable but small, the Big Island is incredibly expensive and a lot of it is off limits. The rest of the islands are really small and not very populated.

Your post reminded me that you should move to Iceland. It's relatively cold there in winter and they are a lovely people who take you to court to use your own name. Swell place that Iceland.

Got into the car this morning and thought of Three Dog Night when I saw the temperature.
I am thinking of eventually heading up to Alaska or the Canadian Northwestern or Yukon territories where although summers are short they can be quite warm.
