Nicely written post. I was just thinking how I would certainly much prefer the sweating of summer - it doesn't really bother me. But the cold hands, nose, and feet of winter take some getting used to.

However, it is also about perspective. A few weeks ago, I would have thought that right at the freezing point was cold, now on a 29-degree day I think it is fine to work outside. All it took was a few days at -4 in the morning!
