Ah, but take all that darkness and add to it knee-deep (or deeper) snow and temperatures well below freezing. That's what I get to experience while you're basking in the height of summer.

You know, you northern hemisphere types make it really hard to complain about winter.

Well, we try. Oh, and I forgot to mention wind chill. Do you all have wind chill on the Gold Coast? ;)

Of course, I could move to Florida or California, and I wouldn't have anything to whine about.

Yes you would!!!!!

Ever hear of hurricanes and typhoons?

We get the hurricanes, and California gets the Pacific variety (aka: typhoons).

We whine a LOT about the #@$%^!! things, since they tend to blow our houses down and hurt our tender bodies---a LOT!!!

The wind chill factor 700km south of the gold coast (sydney) is just fine thanks. It gets delivered express from Antactica - but we don't qualify for snow.
