Is it a common assumption of Northerners that Southerners have never lived in the north? Thus Northerners think Southerners have no business stating "It's cold" with any legitimacy? Is there a merit badge that Southerners must earn to say "It's cold"? What are the requirements to earn said merit badge?
So with this in mind, when a northerner, (one who lives in the colder climes), hears a southerner exude his or her disdain for the cold temperatures they must endure, said northerners cannot help but wonder how much embellishment is being used by the southerner in the description of the weather.

For perspective, most days its warmer inside my freezer then it is outside. To be honest I would consider anything above zero as comfortable just cause the body gets use to the cold at a certain point. That said I can under stand how 40 or even 20 would seem cold when you are use to 60's

Yes, there actually IS a merit badge and other awards available if one was so inclined. Earned it when I was 14. Klondike Derby awards too. Another trivial note, stars in the sky or lights on the horizin are never as bright as when it's in the negative double digits or more.

Most of us here know it's just horsing around. Lighten up some. All we ever hear is how things are bigger and better in Texas, we can't even have OUR moment?

You're about the thousandth Northerner to have "your moment"

The second lake picture is Towada-ko over in northern Japan. We were stationed in Aomori prefecture.
Sorry about the pics, got them all sized right now.

Yeah, it's beautiful out there.
That is what we did every weekend. Load in the truck (or on the motorcycles) and head out to to the mountains. Depending on the weather, we were skiing, riding or hiking.
Gosh, going through all these pics I wanna take a trip back. When it gets cold here I revert back to then. Getting hot soups, hot teas and good good food.
