Summer in winter

A friend who lives in Florida has decided to move back to Pennsylvania. Among other reasons, she mentioned the weather.

She doesn't like Florida's climate. "Summer in January screws me up," she says.

Where I live, it's extremely cold at the moment -- almost unbearable. So it was a little strange to hear my friend's complaint. Still, I can understand where she's coming from.

When you're used to the cycle of four seasons, it doesn't feel right for one to be missing. Even though winter may suck, we still want the opportunity to curse it.
