I still find it impossible to grasp as to why some folks want
freezing
weather,

I much prefer it to be -5C to 0C than 0C to +5C, the former is
cold and
dry, just put another layer on. The latter is cold and damp,
you can't do
anything to keep out the damp.

I'm with you on that. Especially if it's frosty and sunny with
it.
