The Benefits of Living in Cold Binghamton

No, dealing with the polar vortex has not frozen my sense of reason!

I figure, if we have to live with an all out cold Winter, I should let you know there are perks. There are cons to living in cold weather, but I am all about the positive, so I will share.

1. Skiing. This is obvious, but taken for granted. If you lived in Jamaica, you'd have to shell out serious money to come up here and ski. So, enjoy it.

2. You can leave food that is supposed to be refrigerated in your car. It's like a spare fridge.

3. Cold weather burns calories. We have to expend more energy to stay warm than to cool down. Burn baby burn!

4. The obvious: you can add layers to stay warm in Winter, but you can only shed so many clothes in Summer.

5. And my favorite, because it is ironic: Men use their imagination more. Since women wear more clothing, men have to use their brain power to think about whats underneath. The more they do that, the more creative they get in work and at home as well.

Got a perk to add to the list? let me know. Meanwhile, enjoy the cold snap!
