I have to show this to my Chinese mother-in-law. When our house is 70°F she puts two layers of pants on our 11mo daughter. :/

This is so awesome. I love the cold. I think it makes people stronger, and the sooner the better for kids. I regularly walk to work in the misery of winter. So far the coldest its been this year on my walk was 0ºF with a wind chill of about -20ºF. When that air gets in your lungs it makes you feel a lot more alive, because you're suddenly aware that you are even breathing, a fact that is lost on us most of the time. As much as I appreciate warmth, I could never live in a place without ice on the ground for significant portions of the year.
