    Oh I understand. But it’s all about perspective.

    Someone living in Siberia may say “cold in Canada? Silly geese.”

    I come from a tropical climate in which people wear jackets when it’s 21 C (31 C being the average all year round.) In my mind, 21 degrees Celsius (about 68 F I think) was damn cold.

    Of course, I now laugh about that.

    But I won’t judge her for not wanting to be cold and using a maybe seemingly reasonable way to do that.

      My first trip to Florida from Ohio I was on a tour at Kennedy Space Center. When I got there I noticed all the people in jackets, it was 65F, I was perplexed. Now the opposite is also true, I hate weather over 80F, too dang hot.

      See that’s why living in Arizona is so much fun. There’s some park ranger in Death Valley but what’s the odds on running into them online?

        Lol! That was funny :)

        But anyway, Arizona can have cold snaps, right? Like 32 F at night in January? I know New Mexico and Texas do.

        But that rarely happens at sea level in an actual tropical region, near the equator.

          You should look at Northern Arizona. Southern Arizona is really hot and then Northern Arizona is high plains that can rival Canada for snow every few years. (Fun fact, when they were wondering where all the snow was for the Vancouver Olympics? It was in Arizona, we stole it fair and square!)
