DR Pogue: So far so good, then, on the issue of cold.
Of course, when it's minus-15 and three feet of snow is on the ground, I imagine Tewkes is going to give you a funny look when you introduce him to his walkies.

More power to you. I'm a four-seasons kind of person, too...sort of. It's fun to visit right now. Not sure I'd like to deal with ice and snow in an area like the one I'm visiting right now...they have no ice removal procedures and few, if any, know how to drive in the stuff.
I used to enjoy driving around Indianapolis in the snow...and I got huge kicks out of the morons who tried to pretend they knew what they were doing when matching/exceeding speed limits. I saw so many of them go down in humiliation...off the road, up against walls and into ditches.
It does get old, however, getting up to go to work and finding you have about 30 minutes worth of ice removal to do on your car (if you are not lucky enough to have a garage), and then find you have to shovel your way out of your drive because the plows have already been through and you have a three-foot barrier or dirty snow blocking your drive.
But enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
