To me, this is like water off a duck's back.  Among other things, I've worked
on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in winter, I've been sailing on the
Chesapeake in February and I've had my cherry busted while still in college when I
once spent a Christmas "Break" laying a half mile field run of intake piping
from a water treatment station to the power plant on o wind swept hilltop in
Western PA.  You do what you have to do whenever you have to do it.
