It's colder because it's farther north. Move to Mexico, take $5 and you can live like a king! Maybe start a business. Well maybe a little more than $5, but you can have quite a few margaritas with that much. I live in New York... I'm used to the cold. I'm also used to the hot. You see here in NY there is no real inbetween. In the spring / summer it's 90-110 F, in the winter it's 0-30 F.... fall is I guess the only inbetween sort of. it's like 30-50. And then the 50-90 phase is like one week (which is why there's so many street problems, drastic change of weather causes it to stretch, shrink, crack and pop) . :\ So true. Gets nastily humid during the summer.
