Actually though, this is one of the reasons I did move to Florida. I didn't like snow, wet, cold/freezing any more. While 3 months of the year here it really is too hot (for me) to do alot of outside stuff... the rest of the year is awesome.

well, i think my perceptions and tolerance have *also* changed (i don't mind the cold as much as i used to, as long as i'm dressed warmly / inside, but i can't take the really hot weather at all now), but i promise you, the climate has changed too. ask anyone. we didn't used to have so much cold rainy weather in summer, and we didn't used to have such extreme heat when it was hot. also we used to have an actual transition from winter to summer ; we called it "spring". we don't have that anymore either ; now, it just goes brutally from chilly to hot overnight, or else skips the "hot" bit altogether and stays cold the entire time. paris was never the place you go for the beautiful summer weather, but still, we had actual summers where you could wear your summer dresses (and sandals) and spend all day out in the park for a concert, having a picnic dinner... now, you can do that if you're really lucky and / or brave. a couple of weeks ago we had one week of very hot weather (the first few days were nice, near the end i think it was up to 33 and that is too hot, and very unusual for paris, although we're seeing it more often in recent years), then overnight the temperature fell about 15 degrees and it's been grey, windy, rainy... like a month of october. obviously the week of nice weather happened precisely when i started my annual contract where i have to work in the client's office all day every day, so i didn't get to take advantage of it at all.
