I am one of those people who likes wearing shorts too, but I don't see myself wearing shorts here in Utah for a long time, as it is COLD here! boah! I wonder how springtime will be like here in Utah, probably very warm during days and freezing cold at nights (my guess). Care to correct me, fellow Utahn ADers?

I've done that before at my deaf school in Mass. The ground was covered in snow.. and I had just walked out of the gym from gym class and walking to the dorm.. no coat on.. just t-shirt and shorts.. I didn't feel cold at all.. no shivering either and the teachers was like where's your coat? I just shrugged and walked away lol

BETHEL, Maine (AP) -- As temperatures plummeted to 20 below, Maine's busiest ski resort was nearly empty Wednesday, despite the free hot chocolate and hand warmers.
Across town, the huskies were yipping and ready to go, but a company that offers dogsled rides had no customers, either.
And the ice shacks on frozen lakes and ponds? Let's just say most anglers were saving their fish stories for another day.
Extreme cold gripped New England Wednesday, and even in Maine, where people are used to freezing weather, the chill sent all but the hardiest souls inside.
Portland's minus-10 reading was the warmest overnight reading in Maine, with temperatures as low as 26 below and a wind chill of minus 54, said Tom Hawley, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service.
The coldest spot in New England was New Hampshire's Mount Washington, where the temperature dipped to a record 44 below with a wind chill of minus 100.
It was so cold in New Hampshire that workers at the Laconia Ice Co. used an unlikely place to warm up -- their freezer. Manager Tom Rudzinski said the freezer is kept around 15 degrees, about 30 degrees warmer than it was outside in the parking lot at midmorning.
At AAA Northern New England, calls for help starting vehicles in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont were well above the company's usual 2,000 for a winter day. The auto club got about 5,000 calls by midafternoon and expected to break its record of 5,025 calls set last Friday.
Schools in several communities called off classes. Police advised motorists to stash extra clothing in their vehicles, and the National Weather Service took the unusual step of sending an advisory warning people to watch for frostbite.
Weather forecasters said the cold snap won't loose its grip on New England until Saturday.
In Boston, 23-year-old Ben Gurley would not let subzero temperatures keep him from his job as a bicycle messenger.
"It's just as bad as you'd think, only 100 times worse," he said. "You feel naked all the time, so you layer it up with lots of wool."
With the thermometer stuck at 2 degrees in Rochester, New York, Michelle Ormsbee still made it outside for a smoke break, and sipped steaming coffee. "I can take the snow, I can take 32 degrees, but this is bad," she said.
Wouldn't it have been easier to just kick her smoking habit for a day? "No, actually!" the 25-year-old legal assistant said with a laugh.
New York City's Department of Homeless Services sent outreach teams to the streets to search for people who needed to be taken to shelters, and Philadelphia officials planned to call a similar "code blue" Wednesday afternoon.
Both cities were expected to get as much as 5 inches of snow overnight, with New York's wind chill expected to drop to 20-below late Thursday. Syracuse, New York, hit a record low Wednesday of minus-18.
In Jersey City, New Jersey, where the temperature sank to 15 degrees by the afternoon, burst pipes flooded intersections and snarled morning traffic with ice.
At Maine's Sunday River resort, where it was 26 below at the summit, the ski trails were largely deserted and empty ski lifts swayed in the wind. A spokeswoman estimated there were only 250 skiers when the lifts opened, compared with 1,000 to 1,500 on a typical January weekday.
Icicles hung from the eyelashes and brows of one skier, 38-year-old David Mulcahy of Dedham, Massachusetts, who said he was not going to let the cold keep him from his long-awaited ski trip.
Michael-John Pierce, 22, of Darien, Connecticut, said the numbness started in his fingertips and worked its way up his arms until his whole body was chilled as he skied runs by the names of Agony and Monday Mourning.
"Words like `agony' take on a whole new meaning on a day like this," he said.
Officials warned people to make sure their furnaces were working properly. In Sidney, several residents of the Hearthside Extended Care Facility were taken to the hospital twice in three days for carbon monoxide poisoning apparently caused by a malfunctioning furnace.
The record chill couldn't slow Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Lieberman, who campaigned in northern New Hampshire with no coat or hat. His campaign staff wasn't so brave, and turnout was lower than expected at his event at a Littleton senior center.
"We're campaigning in layers this morning," said spokeswoman Kiki McLean.
One man who felt he had little choice but to brave the cold weather was 80-year-old Paul Schipper, who holds the nation's longest skiing streak, having skied every day Sugarloaf USA has been open since 1981.
He did not sound too happy after coming down from the 4,000-foot mountain, where the temperature was minus 25.
"I'm getting old. My hands get cold. Everything's cold," he said. "The wind is awful."
:jaw: Today was nice for me... mid 60s... Cant believe that you people are suffering extreme cold in the northeast.

I'm in the southern hemisphere -- so therefore, it's SUMMER here... It has been quite weird -- but that's Melbourne weather for you. First few weeks -- it was scathing HOT, ranging from a balmy mid 80's to scorching 104F...now, it's been comfortable at mid 80's the last week now. Temps will rise once again next week, unfortunately, over the Australian Open (pro tennis competition) where I'll be stuck in the heat of high 80's to 104F...:roll: Hey, it's part of the job!

Yeah I love the weather changing all the time. I want to take turn to swim/carnival/baseball/softball/etc in the summer and skiing/snowboarding/snow fighting/ice skate/etc in the winter. I have lot of skills because I love to learn new things. So I want hot in summer and cold in the winter so I can do all of those without limit my skills from stuck to do something without hot or cold. I love snow. It is beautiful unless there is yellow urina at the spot. HAHA! I do enjoy shoveling the snow. And it is fun to play with your car in big parking lot in snow. HA! Hehe! Also people who live in cold air live longer than hot air. I want to live long enough to see my cute grandchildren growing up in my future. 
However in the winter I alway miss wearing shorts.
