Absolutely not. Not by a long shot.
In fact, except for a brief stretch earlier in the month where my car's thermometer told me it was 2 degrees outside, the cold weather this winter has barely bothered me at all. Even then, I managed to get through that snap pretty easily.
Now, I know that this winter has been much more mild than usual, but I'm thinking back to a blog I wrote on July 18, call "Is it hot enough for you?" In that piece, I talked about how I simply wilt during heat and humidity, and even though I prefer summer to winter, I also prefer roasting to shivering.
But I said I'd revisit the topic in January, and here we are at the end of the month. And I'm hanging in there. How about you?
