In what way is an "obsession" with very cold winter weather different
from your "obsession" with heat waves in the Summer? Both are
uncomfortable if not dangerous for many people, especially the
elderly. But as we can't alter the weather, why not simply enjoy what
we like when it happens, whether it be hot or cold? Complaining about
people liking and wanting things over which they have no control seems
to be a bit pointless.



Agreed but the way the snowballers obsess about the hint of a cold snap
you wouldn't think it was pointless.

Don't tell me Dave you've got to be another cold weather fanatic.
