2. The Earth's Atmosphere and Oceans Comprise a Gigantic Heat Engine

Together they hold an enormous amount of heat. The effects of varying amounts of sunlight reaching the earth aren't felt for some time afterward. If you live near a lake used for recreational purposes, the local weather station probably tells the water temp as summer approaches. Notice that it takes several warm days in a row before the water temp rises appreciably. It's the same for the oceans in higher latitudes - only on a vastly larger scale.

7. I Can Tolerate The Dark Mornings...

I just don't it being dark at 4:45 in the afternoon. --- I can't imagine what it must be like to live FAR north where it's dark ALL DAY LONG... or where the sun just peeps over the horizon for an hour, then sets again.

8. I can take the cold...but not the snow.

And we'll be getting a lot of snow. Just my instincts.
