Phil, I think that is the difference -- to us, cold is a rare, temporary, and refreshing change from the dull warmth of southern Calif. To someone from a cold climate, there is no magic in needless suffering. To illustrate, one winter we flew from LA to Portland. When our five year old stepped out of the plane into the jetway, he inhaled the cold wet air and exclaimed, "Wow! It smells just like the freezer section of the supermarket!"
I can just see that. LOL
I like the Eastern Sierras myself for a refreshing change.
