(S)he's sooooo Canadian. :P

LOL!!! I love this topic.

Although I must admit, I am probably married to the one Canadian who HATES the cold and has such a low tolerance for it. We live in Northern New Hampshire and it does get chilly up here. Hubby had been spoiled by the Vancouver climate and was so unprepared for winters here!!! He is usually the one in layers and layers and I am the one saying, awww it is not that cold.

Hahaha. I like not being alone here on this topic...and neither is your husband.

I can blame having lived on the West Coast for almost 13 years, and spending too many Winter months sailing in Florida, etc. as the issue, but being back in Montreal and observing that not only I but my friends here simply abhor the cold. They make me laugh because at least I feel I have an excuse.

So I am wondering how to convince my fiancé that we really do need to live in Hawai'i.

I have sun-worshipping ways and he has light skin. Hahaha. Oops.

Good luck with that! My hubby would go in a heartbeat He is dying to move back to Georgia (where I was living when we met). He adores the heat (I blame all his backpacking trips to Central America .. LOL) ... whereas I really am uncomfortable in hot weather. Not sure where we can live that is a good compromise AND fairly close to at least one set of family.

Hmmm...perhaps we need to build an escape commune for people who need to be in tropical weather.

Here in Calgary it's around -18 right now (-4 F) - chinook is on the way YAY!! - should be 2 degrees (36 F) within the next 5 hours.

Unfortunately the chinook is blowing on through and it will be -16 tomorrow afternoon AWW!!.

Guess I could go frolic outside at midnight.

LOL! I like that idea .... at least as a place to visit when the winters get too much up here in NH.

Krikit, I've done lots of research into air conditioning technology. You and I being in Florida and Texas have the humidity to deal with, which throws a wrench into the whole thing. [snip]

Phew. Thanks for the effort which went into that post, Tex! And kudos on the A/C knowledge.

I'm not a big A/C person, though I will have it on when I need to. During the day I have it set to 81. (Unless I'm doing a lot of cleaning that day.... then I'll drop it down to 79.) At night it's set to 77, but that's because I like it cold when I sleep... I like snuggling under a good duvet. But I program it to come back up to 81 by the time I get up so I don't have to walk around shivering. I'm pretty much my own a/c unit anyway.
