We’re in town for New Years. We went walking around Michigan Avenue last night and it wasn’t too bad until it got to be about 7PM and we had to make the long walk back to our hotel. We had to duck into a couple stores because our fingertips hurt so much.
no pockets?

Unless you're an outdoor worker or something like an ice fisherman or snowmobiler with all the right gear, nothing helps when it's this cold. There is no such thing as "tough guy" when it's like this.

I have to go out to the store. I'm dreading even doing that right now, but I'm going. Damn.

Had to make a run to Costco to pick up some steak and it’s awful out. I simply don’t understand people that like this weather and have fun doing physical activities on this nonsense called snow.

One of my fraternity brothers and closest friends ended up moving out to San Diego, and he got married about 14 months ago to a girl from here in SoCal. They are considering moving back to Indiana to be closer to his elderly mother [and for cost of living / quality of live / etc]. 

They're in Chicago right now for New Year's after a week or so in the Indianapolis area. 

I'm wondering whether this weather has cured their desire to move away.

I'm so moving out of here it's not even a question anymore. The old bones just can't take it.

I have some friends in phoenix who used to send me pictures of them golfing in Dec or Jan.   This past year, I sent them pictures of me standing outside in July.  

Very few places are "ideal" year round, and you pay an arm and a leg to live there...   I'd rather put on a jacket than sweat through my shorts.

Two homes is the ticket. Going to the Gulf Coast of Florida in March to get one to stay in for 6 months and one day out of every year.

I put on a jacket to shovel snow this morning at negative 9.  No sweat in my shorts
Going to Texas in 10 days to play golf if the weather cooperates
I'll send pics
it's currently -13, going to -20

My neighbors are a few years retired. They have a summer/fall home here in Ohio and their winter/early spring home is in Naples, Fl. It’s my ideal situation. Ohio is beautiful in the summer, but I hate the cold.
My wife and I were huge travel bugs prior to the little person that runs around our house and the new bun in the oven and our lack of travel in the winters right now is killing me.

plan to move south of NW Iowa when I retire

how far south, I don't know.  Maybe KAnsas, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan.  At least that far south.  Don't think they get to -20.

Maybe as far south as Austin, TX.  Just to bother Utee

I can always visit friends and family in NW Iowa in the heat of summer.  Free lodging

way too derned cold here overnight and this morning - pretty sure the heat pump didn't quit the past 12 hours or so

Flying home yesterday, San Diego was in the 70s. I had a layover in Dallas, where they were getting pelted with an ice storm. Then Columbus was just a frozen tundra. Hoth like.
