3. It's Autumn still.
and it was in the 40's at noon, when I went for a walk.

But I don't mind, this is great weather for me.

It'll be different after a couple of Nor'easters hit in the dead of Winter.

5. Technically, yes
But to us out here, there is only summer, and then two weeks of winter, which can strike randomly anytime after Labor Day and until April. :P

8. When I moved to Boston
The family stayed behind for six months while I shopped for a house.

I remember visiting them in Houston in January. Boston was covered in a foot of snow, but when I got down there, it was in the 80's and I had to mow my lawn.

No thank you.

7. And 91 is a good thing?!
Anything over 72 is awful.
Give me 60. *That's* a great temperature.

17. 70 in the Keys and all the locals were wearing fur lined jackets,
long pants and mittens.

Funny site to the snow birds who were running around in bikinis. :)
