I have now lived down south for 3 years.
I have totally adjusted to the weather here.
I no longer just sweat sitting outside, but the Winter in the south absolutely feels frigid rather than pleasant to me now. I love that I am no longer the weirdo wearing shorts in the winter. I also love that I can take intense heat without complaining. What smells is that when I visit our northern home, I am totally weak. I used to be outside in setback temperatures and not flinch. I would walk around in the snow and shovel without any sort of problem. My parents don’t love to turn on their heating unit until they absolutely need to. I used to be brave right along with them. I could just bundle up in a jacket and be enjoyable to go. Now when I visit them in the Winter I freeze to death, and fall in the north can be bitterly cold. My mother in particular thinks the oil furnace shouldn’t turn on if there is even an hour in the day that is nice. She will even go one step further and open the windows to let in fresh air. She hates wasting money on the oil furnace and sealing up the home. I spend our visit huddled under blankets and wishing for heat. I don’t even love coming in the Winter when the heating system is on. It doesn’t know powerful enough to me and the outdoor temperatures know Arctic love to me now. I should only see them in the summertime when the weather isn’t so chilly.
