I see your point. I was in Chicago-Midway for a layover last week and the 30 seconds on the Jetway to and from the airplane at -10 was all the freezing weather I need this winter. Living in San Francisco I'm lucky with heavy downpour being the worst we really get. There may also be an indoor sports league you can join this winter. My friends are pushing me to join a competitive Dodge-ball league that starts this week. Just a thought...
