I live in Virginia and am not offended by any of these comments. I also would not choose to live someplace where the weather would allow me to ride outside year round. I'm not a big fan of sub-freezing temps, but I can live with them because I prefer having the variety of four distinct seasons rather than warm weather year-round.

Weather, especially temperature, is so incredibly relative. When you're used to 80 degrees, 50 seems cold because it's 30 degrees lower, so you wear a coat. When the high temp barely reaches 20, like it did here on Thursday, and then it goes over 50 only two days later, you're walking around in a t-shirt because it's 30 degrees warmer. It's all about what you're used to.

(Apologies to those who measure temperature in celsius instead of fahrenheit. Did I even spell "celsius" right?)
