Your Massachusetts stories are like a woodshop teacher telling tales to a lumberjack...I lived in Vermont for 4 years and once you get to the point where you are wearing your biggest jacket, hat, gloves, etc, it really doesn't matter much beyond that. You're going to be cold, you're going to want to not be outside, and you're going to do everything you can to get warmer quickly.
Oh, I didn't know you lived in Vermont. Then you know what real cold is all about. Not this pretend cold of 28 Friday. I will still brave the slightly below freezing temp without protection..............only because I don't have any.
Pretend cold...give me a break!!!! It's real cold. If it were 28 degrees for a high and 14 for a low in MA you'd say its cold; when its 28 degrees for high and 14 for a low in NC its cold. It gets cold in North Carolina; not as often and not as cold as it gets in your apparently horrible and unliveable wasteland of a homestate; but it gets cold in winter. Game over (to coincide with what uncletupelo said; you lose)

Oh good grief - will you give it a rest already? Here's a clue - we don't care about your winters in MA. We're in NC. 14 degrees - even if it's the low - is damn cold around here.
I moved here from Houston, land of 100 degree summers with 100% humidity. You won't find me going around "boasting" that people in NC don't know heat, because they do. Hot is hot, cold is cold - no matter where it is. These posts of yours are very tiresome - not to mention rude, especially to NRG.

I believe this translates into: STOPhttp://pictures.pichaus.com/66e691e1ba6b431edb2c80381c72215c234b27b1?AWSAccess KeyId=0K4RZZKHSB5N2XYJWF02&Expires=1232000000&Sign ature=ZqhP23MhXTekpqy5RNc%2F7hTIVA8%3D (broken link)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also wish precipitation and temps could come together to bring us "some" snow lamishra! I'm like a little kid on christmas eve/morning, just waiting and looking outside when the forecasts show any hint of snow
Yikes!
If you really want all of that mess of winter (cold + snow), relocate to the north.
NOT THE S WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's bad enough that I told my DH that I couldn't walk on Friday, because it will be too cold. And I was just bragging to my niece in MA that we could see the sidewalk while she couldn't!
Then I realized that a few years ago I would just throw on my scarf, 2 sweatshirts, furlined hooded jacket, 2 pair of socks, heaviest jeans, and lined boots, then walk a mile in below 15 degree weather which was even colder with wind chills. When I got home, there would be no feeling in my legs, but it was just that way.
Looks like my body has become Southernized here in nice WARM NC!
Pffffft. 14 for a day or so is nothing. I visited my college roommate one Xmas (many years ago) in NY and they were in the middle of one of their worst cold snaps ever. It was -10 with windchill down to -60. And we went into the city, although we certainly didn't see as much as we might have otherwise. I remember huddling over hot tea in a Chinatown restaurant. That's the coldest weather I've ever experienced, by far, and that includes 18 years of growing up in PA.
A good shot of cold is a good thing and an even better thing if it only last 24 to 48 hours! That way when one reflects back to the winter of 2009 one can say boy it was cold on January 15th or 16th in NC.
It sure beats reflecting back on the winter of 2008/2009 and say boy it was cold on November 15th thru March 15th as we use to say in Upstate NY!

precisely. Like the big ice events. They are 1 or 2 day events. Not months of snow, cold, gray, and yuck. I love that I can look outside and see gorgeous fescue, a beautiful sunny blue sky, and sunsplashed rooms in my house. And now that next week it will climb back to the 50s for highs. Where are you from Upstate?
