Having lived in Alaska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Missouri and Colorado for many years of my life... I have had my fill of cold winter weather, although I always liked it when I was younger (back then). Since geezerdome has set in and my blood has thinned considerably, (as has my cold weather tolerance); No thanks, I am just fine with the weather here in Central North Carolina. Don't get me wrong though... everyone likes a warm fireplace and watching a fire during a cold winter's night.
