David,
You need to take a 2-3 day trip down south is all.
It's 70^ here in Big D and its gonna be like this for 3-4 more days.
I'm sure its a wonderful place where you live (and others who are "up north"), but one thing I like about Texas is I never have to put my hot-rods away (and I don't have to buy a "winter only" vehicle to manuever through the white stuff).
Enjoy the drive(s) my friend!!
