Sorry, I will not.

It's fair to disagree - there is a variation in people's perceptions of temperature. Having lived in colder places, it's extremely pleasant not to have to cover head, ears, and neck, and walk around without zipping up my jacket. It's extremely nice to walk 30 minutes in Seattle weather and not have my nose run from the cold. These are luxuries you don't get in colder climates - including Boston, NYC, Chicago, etc.
