I just checked Weather.com, and I'm in the coldest part of the Lower 48. I think I have you all beat.:)

1. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr... it's 73 degrees here
I'd have to go out and buy all new cold weather gear to be where you are.

2. I just walked home from a basketball game...
My moustache froze, and part of my face went numb.

I'd give my left nut for your 73 degrees...:)

6. That's OK.
I've been contemplating again if I should move to a warm climate. I don't think I could move to AZ though, summers are killer. Maybe a cheap part of the LA area or the Bay Area.

9. I'd take the Bay Area over LA any day.
I lived there for quite a few years and the weather is great!!! Traffic sucks, but it does in any metropolitan area.

12. Cheap part of LA?
One word - Compton - and you do NOT want to live there.

15. Ever hear of a scarf, buddy =)
I think that might be the cure for what ails ya. Unless there's some new hi-tech "face warmer" out there.

5. I'm always in the wrong place.
My parents live in the Twin Cities, and I go to college in Fargo, so when it's winter, I'm living in a city that's colder than the other, and when it's summer, I'm living in a city that's hotter and muggier than the other. Up here, it's actually moderate and dry in the summer. Hopefully I'll be able to stay up here this summer and enjoy it.

7. And nothing to stop the wind except a barbed wire fence.
I remember that kind of cold - it's too brutal for me! :scared:

Used to live near there. They're usually pretty cold.

11. That's very true.
So far this winter, we haven't recieved our mandatory one week straight of -10 or below high temps, with four of those days being -20 or below. The kind of week where nobody's car will start. That happened to us the past two years. There were tow trucks littering my parking lot and jumping cars.

18. I almost had to take the cover off the AC today, and fire it up
It was 82 here, and a hot breeze blowing.. Should have been a pretty day, but the damn smoke browned it up, so I couldn't open the windows up as much as I would have liked.
