That proved to be false.<BR/>I'm not complaining though. I like the weather here very much, but my sweat factor on humid days remains high. Maybe I just need another summer under my belt before the acclimation begins.<BR/>I'm just hoping for another wonderfully mild winter this year. My body has no ability to acclimate to cold weather.
