These are a few of my fears (after having made an attempt).

I'm comfortable and happy in the sunbelt.

I have been sick when the weather is cold... Does that count? I have broken many bones during the winter.

I have worked outside in extremely cold weather. People around here do it every day.

Ice fishing is a good time. I call it beer drinking while in a shed. Very rarely does this get interrupted by a fish.

We recreate often in the cold weather. I have recreated each of the last 3 days in the cold. Sunday morning it was -10* windchill and my 12 year-old and I went snowboarding... Felt good. The sun came out and I actually had to take off a layer because I got hot!!!

Being out in the cold can be fun and enjoyable if:

You dress for the weather and activity.
You can do something entertaining while out in the cold.
You are with fun people enjoying the same activity as you.

Comfortable and happy in the snow and cold belt :)
