years ago went to visit my sister in NC, RDU area, I didn't know how anyone can move down there. I felt like I was breathing in water!
She said that she does minimal outdoor things in the summer, that is when she stays in and quilts etc. all the stuff she used to do during the winter up here
Often times I think I would rather take 3 months of hot and stay in than 5 months of cold ! You all get at least 9 months of great riding, we're lucky to get 7 (I don't like to ride in the dark on snowy, icy, streets when it is below 0 although there are some brave souls around here that do it !
Hang in there, soon enough it will be snowing up here and everyone now in the heat will be saying what a glorius day it is down there
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination
