Being able to bear a northern New England winter should be a point of pride for anyone. For those of you not used to cold weather, you’d be surprised at how your body adjusts to it.
The same may be true of hot weather. I will never know.
Probably the most vivid memory I have of my college years in Maine is walking around in shorts because (hallejulah) it just hit 40 degrees. That is a feeling like no other.
