You will convince a lot more people with the truth than with manipulation. instead of trying to manipulate/experiment on people by making strange, unbacked assertions like “I like cold weather”, why don’t you just tell them what you just told us: that cold weather kills diseases, cleans the air and water, and keeps our coastal cities from being flooded.

I have been a firm supporter and lover of the Fall and Winter for as far back as I can remember. Each time someone makes a negative comment about the cold, snow, or rain, I always, as a way of life, counter their disgust with positive, refreshing remarks about the delight of cold weather, and the wonderful greyness of rainy days when color is at it's most intense and beautiful. I am an artist, having studied here in Gotham @ Columbia, and shall go on lauding the beauty of winter and rain, and how refreshing and revitalizing it all is. Not to mention the delight of coming into a nice warm environment in contrast to the wonderful raw elements out there. Thank you Stuart for being a kindred soul. Not to mention that exaggeratedly warm days are only a reflection that something has gone seriously wrong on this sensitive earth we inhabit.

I'm from the opposite front though. Your favouring of winter is reasonable, but it won't make me love cold weather. There is a difference between reason and love.
