69 (I'm so happy with that number, BTW).  Cleaning off my car in the morning...and then maybe doing the neighbors' (car, that is, ya pervs).  I REALLY like that and I'm often whistling or singing.  The neighbor's think I'm nuts.

Heh, I do that, too. Neighbors all head to work in scarves and hats and large jackets. Im usually good in a sweatshirt and jeans (40's, for the love of.. we're not talking bone chilling pre-dawn hours back in Hamburg).

 

65. I no longer crack a sweat while taking the dog for a walk.

64. Better gas mileage because I can turn the damn AC off.

63. Watching my (Buffalo Native) father act like 1" of snow is a hell of a storm now that he's pushing 9 years of southern residency.

62. Hunting season. the woods, a nice coating of snow, the cold, the stillness of nature...and lining up unsuspecting deer in the sights of my 12 gauge...

See, I miss that and at the same time don't. I really do like being able to use a .30-06 down here, but it sucks having to check the stand for yellow jackets before climbing in. Layers are everything down here. At 6:00, it's 28 degrees, but it's 65 by noon.

 

All in all? I'd rather go hunting up there in Ellicotville or something. Perhaps I'll pick up some land when I get the $$.

The time I spent in Kentucky was a good mix. Get's cold, snowy. "Still Hunt" in the woods, and I used a .44 mag carbine. 50 yard max shots, and something that would push a leaf out of the way. I used a 30.06 Remington 7400 for a stand over the soybean fields. Corn's good, but those soybean deer are really tastey.
