I get a perverse sense of joy from showing up at work with a frozen beard after riding my bicycle over the packed snow in the bike lanes.
Wouldn’t dream of taking a walk in a shopping mall even in the dead of winter. I’d go for a hike in the Fells instead, with a couple of layers and some ice traction on my boots.
You’d have to pay me a fair bit to move to California. Maybe I’m just weird? Lots of people seem to like it here though.
The article repeatedly calls out Miami for being the hottest city in the country. I've never been to Miami, but it looks like averages in the 70s and 80s year-round. I'd take that any day over having to put up with the blizzards, shoveling snow off my driveway and car, etc. that I did in Omaha.
Right, like, suggesting people move to Albany or Pittsburg or Worcester, without mentioning that the winters are incredibly tough and that colder climates are another aspect of global warming, strikes me as incredibly naive.
Yeah. I miss a lot of things. The crisp air, making snowmen, sledding, fall colors, the intellectual culture, the sense of history... I am not at all saying that there’s nothing to miss.
