Growing up in heat and humidity, I fell in love with the seasons and aridity of foothills. You couldn’t pay me enough to send me back to humidity and mildew and bugs ... good heavens, the bugs!.... I have lived in the tropics, and our seasons just went from hot and humid , to hot and rainy, and then back to just hot and humid. Being from Minnesota, I missed the snow, believe it or not.
Btw, thanks for the thread. It reminded me to check my emergency road kit in my car for winter gear.
