There's a portion of winter that gets insanely cold where I live. I'm talking so cold that your forehead muscles stop working right and your face hurts while you fill gas type of cold. So, when it gets back up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, you'll see people wearing shorts and tank tops riding bikes and spending time outdoors as if it was summertime. I mean, when you've survived -50 degree wind-chill, anything will feel like warmth on the skin. It is the best feeling in the world and almost makes living around here worth it.
