We grew up in the same stretch, between Syracuse and Watertown, on the east end of Lake Ontario. It feels that way to you because you're older and don't see Upstate winters year after year anymore. Got that thin Southern blood now, ooh it's 50 degrees out, better grab my coat.

But let's see people from that area come down here during late August/early September on one of those high humidity/blistering sun days right after a good rain and then the sun comes back out.

God I love those days.

A little bourbon and lemonade on crushed ice. Maybe a mint sprig if I'm feeling fancy.

Absolutely great day.

It gets to the point that even if you wake up early to go run that you're sweating before you hit the end of the driveway.

Normally I love the cold and sad to see it go. But I'm officially over it this year. Looking forward to those days as well.

I lived in Carolina for ten years. That's about as hot as I want to go. Tolerable, not quite getting into miserable.

Heat is lost more quickly in water than in air.

We have cold and humid air.
They have the same cold but dry air.

20 degrees and wind in Louisiana feels about as cold as I have ever been. I’m not sure why but it just does.

Yeh I spent some time in Michigan during the winter and while it was cold and snow never, it felt dry and not humid. Seemed colder down south when it was raining and 35. My only guess is humidity.

I’ve spent winter in Watertown and Ogdensburg. This 19 degree morning is still freaking bone- chilling.

Come down here for a typical summer when it's 95 degrees with a 90% humidity with mosquitoes trying to drain all of your blood that you will swear that vampires exist, we'll see who's soft. lol

Imagine being so triggered over a post about snow flurries on an Internet message board that you proceed to respond and call other people soft...

You have to be hardy to survive where he’s from. North country yankees are tough people. Like Alaskans, they have to deal with a cold that is so severe that your nose hair feels like pins inside your nose and 6 months of crazy cold not to mention multiple feet of snow. But they tend to underestimate what 15-20 degrees in the Deep South feels like, humidity- wise. They just don’t get it until they experience it. 20 in Houston isn’t the same as 20 in Boulder or 20 in Montreal. It’s a different kind of cold.

Humid cold cuts to your bones. It's much harder to warm up from.
