I run summers all year. We might get one day with a tiny bit of snow but even that is rare on the mid island. Usually it stays pretty sunny too, this year has been a bit rainy though.

It's Heaven. 
Beautiful blankets of white snow, full breaths of fresh and crisp icy air...I love working outside in the winter. Chopping wood for the wood burning stove, shoveling the driveway, helping a farmer neighbor repair a fence.
I wouldn't trade it for the world!
I lived in San Diego back in the 90's and I'd never do it again. Sure, warm weather can be nice, but it gets old. I also like having water to drink and wash my car with.

+986! I live where there's winter and snow because I like it better. I was born in Tucson, and the heat, lack of snow and winter, plus too many people drove me up north. You people from CA, FL, AZ, etc. can tease all you want, but I wouldn't move to those places if you paid me! I drive my Boxster most of the winter and I love it!

This "winter" thing is wonderful. Its the time of year that those of us who live in florida can finally put the tkp down every day. And we can wrench on the car without gettkng completely soaked in sweat in five minutes and eaten by mosquitos.
Oh sorry Dr. Didnt mean to rub it in.

It is supposed to be in the mid 60's here for a few days. Maybe a couple 50 deg days in the next few weeks. I figure I have until just before Thanksgiving, then she goes to sleep. I need to protect her from 120+ inches of snow we get each year, not to mention who knows how much salt.
