The cold sucks unless it's snowing. Warm weather is better. You can enjoy a lot more things outside in warm weather.

You mean like sunburn, sweating profusely, potential heat stroke, mosquitos, flies, wasps, hornets, too hot for non water sports, 5 months of weather sameness etc... that kind of enjoyment?

Like going to the beach, the lake, kids playing outside, going to the park, cooking out, etc.

 

You can do a lot more things outside when it is warm than cold.

Wait.  What prevents you from doing any of those things you listed when it's cold?

 

The beach in winter is often quite tranquil.

My kids play outside everyday (well, not yesterday) with a proper coat, hat, and mittens.

We still take our kids to the park.

My grill works quite well in the cold, Brick.

Mine was outside playing basketball and blowing bubbles with me ;)

Not me. A lot easier to get cool than it is to get warm.

Technically you can do all those things when it's cold...if you aren't a big P about it :)

It's just not enjoyable to me to bundle up and do those things outside. I feel like I can never get warm enough. But I have no problem going to the beach in the summer or playing basketball in the summer when it's in the 90s.

 

Plus, women wear less clothing when it's hot.

 

I'm 100% sure that you don't ever have to say this again and we would all STILL be very aware of it.

 Apparently, the pipe(s) in the attic that feed the sprinkler system above my apartment on the northside of Atlanta have burst as the thaw got started. Water was spotted "gushing out" of my unit. Of course, I'm in and have been in Savannah. They're going in there now. Also, I asked my sis to check it out and give me her perspective as soon as she gets a chance since she lives in Atlanta. It was down to ~5 F there. Hopefully, the damage isn't bad, especially to my belongings, though I'm insured. But water "gushing out" doesn't sound good.

 They claimed that dripping my faucets would have helped. However, I've been told that makes no sense since the sprinker system would normally be on a totally separate line. Also, I did leave my cabinet doors open to let in the heat from the apartment, which was set on 60 F.

Larry, I'm here if I can help with anything, just let me know!

The problem with leaving the heat on at those low temperatures (60 degrees) is that that may be great where the thermostat is located, by the outside walls get much colder, especially in the temps we had. 

I use to manage the Energy Management System for DeKalb County School System, and we finally raised the minimum temps in the schools to help counter that problem, as we use to run them at 55 degrees and we had pipes busting.

I can empathize, Larry.  Sorry the pipe busting got you too.
