After coming back from a week in the tropics, I arrive only to find DC in the “depths of winter” sporting the same temperatures. Being a hearty “ski bum” myself, I was wondering when those folks who actually ENJOY the winter months would start bemoaning the lack of cold temps and the white stuff. Granted, this would be a time to get your wish list together of equipment you expect to see at the local “fire sales” at local retailers of winter gear.

I know, from reading older posts, that most DC Metblog authors are summer loving residents of this fine city, how are you, the readers who like the supposedly ‘cold’ months, coping with this lack of frigidity? Have you turned to thoughts of baseball, golf, or other spring-time pastimes, or have you run indoors and turned the thermostat down REALLY low to go into “winter simulation mode”?
