Not all of them. Several of my friends (most notably Allie Moore and Sarah Thibodeaux) don't mind the cold weather so much. What they all have in common is that they're all very skinny. For your reference, Susie Stillwell is about average weight. And on the other end, I know Joanne Rodriguez and Lauren Stanhouse (both significantly overweight) who both really dislike cold weather... Maybe I'm finding a pattern... Maybe it's because the skinny ones are converting excess fat into heat...

I'm just a little overweight and I initially disliked the cold weather, but I'm acting tough in the hope that I'll adapt and maybe soon be in the same group as Allie Moore and Sarah Thibodeaux... (That should get me some more MPGs in any weather, as in "I wish I was as skinny as Allie Moore... For more MPGs!")

Allie Moore and I have a combined carbon footprint much smaller than that of one average American...
