Yep...in Winter, if all I'm concerned with is body heat, I CAN dress more warmly, and I can at least be warm in bed (heated water bed and/or electric blanket)....but Winter has more inconveniences in other ways. Hot weather does not require me to wear myself out shoveling my drive before going to the store, nor prevent me from GOING to the store for days.

Unfortunately, Summer near Wash DC can be miserable, as the humidity gets nasty....and Winter in Wash DC can be miserable because snow is often right at freezing, and is slippery and nasty and hard to drive in.

I think that if I lived in Arizona or Canada, I'd adjust to the problem season better and revel in the shorter, but nicer relief when it went away.
