It does matter though. If the 15mins a day and weekends you WANT to spend outside, it's raining, then that sucks. I hate being stuck indoors all fall and most of winter because of the rain. (I live in Ohio). Thats why so many people have seasonal depression where I live. And why a lot of people are fat.
I understand your point, touché. My brother in law lives in Columbus. He said a couple of years ago it was below freezing for several months. Gray and depressing. But still, people in California sit at their desks at lunchtime on 72 degree February days (I was out playing basketball on outdoor courts with coworkers). They totally took the weather for granted. That was the inspiration for my post.

Try Colorado. No SAD. Very active. Very affordable. Lots of jobs. Very sunny, Today I was out on my back deck in shorts and no shirt sweating: Temperature 39F. Sweating.

How in the heck do you sweat in 39f and physically not doing anything but standing around? Are you big as a bear?

The direct sunlight here is very strong due to the thinner air. You really do feel warm, even at these temps.

The sun is very intense. My deck faces south. There was no wind. The deck is very windowed so there was lots of reflection too. No kidding. The humidity was around 30%. I was just sitting in the sun and I got too hot. It was too bright to bring my laptop out to work City Data. I need a $10,000 monitor to overcome the bright sun so I can internet outdoors.

It's Colorado.

So tell us a bit about your personal life, Charles!

Seriously though, it's darn right balmy compared to yesterday! The sun is nice and everything today, but it's way too far on the zenith ( you know what I mean ).

I, like Pittnurse, took the test and quit at the end. I didn't think of falsifying my test because I was afraid the CIA and the CBI would break in and steal my computer.

I did find the assortment of questions interesting though. How about this question; how far away do you want the rest of your family/kin to live?

Humm, weird. CoS is higher then Denver, right?

I don't remember @ even 40 degree while living in CoS that I consider myself hot.

So I guess if its about 80, then should we say Denver feels like a melting pot?

That's the beauty of it! At 80, it feels comfortable! Now at 100, yes, like the melting pot. More like you're inside your oven.
