Beg to differ. Cold weather means heating season with all the accompanying dusts and moulds being blown around the house by your forced air heating system. Plus no matter where you go, the air isn't exchanged often enough so you get everyone else's germs and are always fighting off one cold or another. Walking outside is a challenge if not downright dangerous and driving always depends on not hitting the nuts that didn't bother to buy winter tires. Instead of mowing, you're shovelling or ploughing or salting or just plain shivering. The only plus side is that the dog's coats are GORGEOUS but then they fall out as soon as the snow melts.
