Yes, places like that sound awful!! There's a reason I've avoided places like FL, TX, AZ etc. in my job search. I can't imagine living somewhere so hot that I would be stuck inside all the time--at least when it's cold one can dress for it and still enjoy being outside and being active. GLC, I had to laugh about your description of your husband not being able to handle the NC winters--cold winters are just not something I associate with NC! I guess it's all relative.

I was also just thinking about how my youngest sister doesn't fit the hypothesis about temperature tolerance being affected by the environment in which one was born...she was born here in MA in January but really doesn't care for cold weather. She says she wants to live "somewhere warm" when she finishes school and starts working, and thinks I'm crazy for enjoying running in the cold and snow.
