I was just pointing out how different it is here and how people down there are not use to things.

"Your mind is going soft with all that shoveling you've been doing"

I remember some of the people from way up North who use to tell us about how they had to plug their cars in at night so the electric heaters could keep the cars from freezing up at night.

and their heat bills cost them as much as their house payments during the winter months- Ouch!
