    I wouldn't go out of the house if it snowed.
    I would be packin my clothes to move..............
    Hate Snow.
    When it snows I want everybody electricity to go off and not come on for a week. And for it to snow 8' high outside..
    And for them to go outside and work all day everyday in the snow.
    I hate Snow......:gah:

    Try to git in the shade whenever in the Hot Summer. And I have to work out in it on the Lake workin on Boats..
    I stay pretty brown. But when push comes to shove I can still ride and go outside.
    And drink Beer . But I'm not freezin
    And the chics on the beach love Hot weather.

    But when its Cold, I can't do very much. And workin on boats is tough. The wind usually makes you freeze .

    Don't like for it to go under 60*

    I think your body just get used to it. Just like people down south deal with heat and humidity better than we do. I went to Florida to play some golf during the winter one time it was 80 deg. and humid and I couldn't drink enough water to replace what I was sweating out.

    I like 80* man you ride in a T shirt.
    Humidity, I live close to the Gulf of Mexico. We git a lot of High Humidity here.
    People come down from up north in the late spring. It might be 80* the humidity might be a little high. They say man its rather warn here.
    It feels really good right now. Give it a few months.

    My feet got cold super fast then my hands, Its over for me.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh don't play golf either.

    I hear in the summer months its to hot to go out and ride where your at CB. Talked to people who say the heat and the humidity are unbearable in the summer. We have a more moderate climate. Usually get in the mid forties during the winter months but the summers are simple unbeatable with average temps in the 80's. Even when it hits a 100 degree day ain't bad or we can simply go to the beach about 75-80 miles away where its in the 60-70's.

    It does git hot. But a lot of people still ride.
    You might need to take a few more breaks to stretch yer legs and drink something.
    You sweat a lot , but you can go in the airconditioner.
    I will take this heat over cold anyday.
    I went back home to Northern Alabama and asked my buddy, how the heck did I ever livehere.
    Been gone since 84.
    I know why people from up north move to Florida and south Texas now.
    I'm 60 and hate the cold...........
    I like to be able to go outside when I want to.

    I've lived in the north all my life. Used to be the cold didn't bother me. Even worked outside and did the snowmobile thing and had alot of fun. Seems like every year for the last 10 or so I dislike the cold more. It's to the point now where it just pisses me off !!!

    When you live up here in the cold you can either be miserable all winter or embrace it and find something fun to do outside and enjoy it.
