    Looking forward to finally emerging from my cave while wearing fewer than two thermal clothing layers.

    This! I'm in Michigan, but there's a bill in the Michigan House right now that would rename the state "The Commonwealth of Bitter Cold Suffering".

      Southwest Ohio here. Similar pain, though I'm sure got us beat. But you should be more accustomed to it.

        Live in Cali. Little mild rains coming through. Cute, but a little chilly at 55 F. Guess I'll put some sleeves on.
        A good time to plant my summer tomatoes. That red is good from my vine. Drought? Well now. We all know that we will just import it from the Eastern snow-ins anyway.
        Spring trolling.
        Peace.

          I tried SoCal, but it turns out I prefer extended winters to the hills on fire.

    Closely related, being able to open my windows without getting a blast of unpleasantly cold wind.

    Specifically, I live about 30 meters from one of the Great Lakes, so by opening the windows a crack I get to fall asleep to waves crashing against the shore. Which I can't do if (a) it's unwise to open the windows, and (b) the lake is frozen.

      "Which I can't do if (a) it's unwise to open the windows, and (b) the lake is frozen"

      Yeah they kind of go together, here's an idea to cheer you up, read some H P Lovecraft about elder gods sleeping underneath frozen lakes trying to reawaken. In the summer you can always read Innsmouth stories before bedtime. I'm sure you'll sleep like a baby after that kind of stuff.
