Yeah, I'm from NJ but been down here for almost 20 years. I've lost any tolerance for the cold. It just makes me depressed and achy... and I'm not even 30 yet! I hate wearing layers, yet I'm freezing if it's under 60 degrees so it's a tricky situation trying to function from November through March in NCrolsen11 wrote: ↑24 Feb 2026, 16:22Haha, I can't help but chuckle a little when someone down south says that, I would be celebrating low 40s right now.

Hope everyone in the NE is managing well with the snow... I think we're done for the year, we already had an absolute blizzard by NC standards! I'm ready for spring, I can't handle the cold... the low 40s we've been dealing with the past few days in unbearable.

You would get your cold tolerance back in about a month if you moved back.
I beginning to feel the cold more as I age out to oblivion but I was a pretty ice cold polar bear in my youth. Vinyl gloves under work gloves keeps hands dry and toasty and let me get a lot of stuff done in winter.
Here on Long Island winter is a lot of 30-40 F das where I can rip off a brake job in the driveway pretty comfortably

Yeah, I couldn't do it... I'm sure I'd get used to it if I moved back, but I don't foresee myself ever doing that! I'm wanting to move to Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. most days, but I'm too established and I love NC too much to do that either. I just can't stand the winter!abscate wrote: ↑25 Feb 2026, 05:39 You would get your cold tolerance back in about a month if you moved back.
