No "southerner" here, as we only do ~5 months here, but I tend to agree
about the effect and "feel". 32 degs back on the Mtn in NC, or NY or...feels much less debilitating
than 32 or, even 45 here, esp. with a breeze or wind.

I am not complaining, as we will be back to near perfect by Friday on...
just unusual to see some frost here at this latitude and at nearly sea level. The older I get, the more
narrow my comfort level seems to be.
