Well...perhaps I didn't quite tell the whole story, but here goes.
On Wednesday and Thursday I was doing some outdoor work before I leave town. I got 'stuck' on a couple of things and spent several hours (in total) in what was 35 degree weather. Not to mention going in and out of warm heat and cold weather!
The weather was so cold, that I had on 3 tracksuits AND a thick faux fur coat with a hoodie, yet the cold was still unbearable. It was driving me crazy. I could not understand how I was completely covered and still freezing. Perhaps the little bit of skin showing was enough.
Last night was the worst...I barely got any sleep, shivered all night long; woke up about 4-5 times.
Another example: Snow in Houston? What place with Palm trees and all the locals call 'humid' snows? It doesn't make any sense. I bet all the Palm trees there are dead now. Thats why I say, there's nothing in the 48 like Southern Cali and South Florida.
35F is nothing, I spent a weekend camping in temps down to -4F and didn't get sick.
Thats because you're from NC. You've built up some immunity. Now, if you take the Palm tree on my photo and place that same tree in NC; how long do you think it would survive?
Actually i live in eastern NC where it rarely gets below 20F. But as others have said, the weather cannot make you sick.
Yes it can! Okay...maybe its not the weather, its the weather CHANGE. Last week, before Thanksgiving I was wearing a miniskirt at the bar; this week Im dressed in layers.
Also, whenever I get into the car; the heat goes full blast (probably a bad thing) and as soon as I step out the wind is picking up making it feel like 28 degrees!
Sudden temp changes have been know to cause comas in some people. Im thankful that I didn't end up with one because I spent 2 whole days shivering.

Houston got an inch of snow that lasted an hour and it wasnt even below freezing, the palms will be fine.
And youre right, there IS no place like soCal or soFLA. For me it would be UTTER HELL...a season-less climate with ZERO chance of snow.
Sorry to hear your sick, but clearly you are not a winter person. But many of us are and love winter, which hasnt even really begun (its been cold in SE MI with many bouts of flurries but no big snows yet). So if you wanna break Old Mans winters legs...youll have to do so yourself lol
