This is SO true!

This is too funny and so true. Last week it was in the upper 40s to low 50s for the high temps here in NC which to me is winter. You guys would have gotten a good laugh seeing me with a thermal undershirt, under a sweatshirt under a hooded sweat-coat (hat on the head) and gloves to do my chores in the late afternoon.

I seem to always have a picture to post so here is one of me on Sunday the 4th of November (I don't remember what the temp was, probably in the 40s).

High of 50 today. Rain. Fireplaces are going nonstop. I have down filled comforters on my bed and on every couch! Low's have been at about freezing. I was destined to live in the Bahamas or maybe like our backyard Herd friend, that lives in Belize!

I am thermally challenged :/ I have NO body fat what so ever!

T Maxons post made me laugh. I was doing the same thing!

Running around in slippers in Nova Scotia at 0 degrees? WOW! But I understand how one could become THAT acclimated! I get comments all the time about me wearing slippers and t-shirts when it's snowing out here! I'm from Hawaii...I don't like my toes being closed in...what can I say? I will say I've acclimated to living on the mainland and do enjoy the changing of the seasons. I prefer a good blanket of snow to just "dead" looking lawns/trees/etc. Besides...it's warmer when it snows!

People at work have always thought I was crazy cause I generally don't wear a jacket in the winter...too much hassel:
Put on the jacket to leave the house and get in car...car gets warm...take off jacket...put on jacket to get out of car to walk to a building...building wAAAaay overheated...now have to carry around bulky jacket...put on jacket to leave building and get into car...wait for car to warm up...take jacket off...etc! YUCK! I'll get chilled...don't get me wrong...but it's a lot easier than dealing with the on and off and overheating etc.

I also do better in the cooler weather (about 50-'s-60's) than the heat/humidity. My mom's family is all from Montana...LOVE it! But it's so dry there...we don't realize how dehydrated we've become cause we're so used to the humidity here. I just don't know if I could live somewhere that CHAINS are required for driving in the winter! Love visiting in the summers though!

Acclimated? Never happened for me...grew up on the Saskatchewan prairies...lived in Northwest Ontario for many years...then lived in Florida...now in Mississippi...don't get used to anything under or over 60 to 80 degrees...hubby says I'm a weather wimp...he is right

X2!!!! That's what I say!! It doesn't make sense to bundle up to take it off so you don't die of heat exhaustion. lol I only wear short sleeve shirts. I have put a long sleeve shirt on maybe twice is the past several years. If I get cold I put on my light jacket or my heavier jacket. I have two coats but I would consider them heavier jackets, not so much coats. I hate to be bundled up. I only wear short sleeve shirts and jackets. But I do wear boots and I love jeans. But no sweats EVER!! I will die before I wear sweats, flip flops, or crocs. lol I've never worn flip flops, never worn crocs, and the last time I worn sweats I was like 8. I didn't have the judgement I have now. lol I don't do those. Just not me.

No way!! I am a jeans, T shirt, boots girl ALL YEAR round, and the warmer the better. That is too funny.

Winter is away to COLD and summer is Waaay to HOT! Fall is the best season but sometimes it doesn't show up.

Ya'all are wimps! Wimps! I raced sled dogs for years in temperatures well below zero. Can't stand temperatures above 70. You guys who have thin blood, I think you need to live a few years in the north to toughen up.
