kidatheart: Bah Humbug!
What do you mean by a lil' warmin' up?
Snow might be acceptable if it never got below -5 or so, but here it seems to want to dip down to -40/-50 at times and I hate that "trapped" feeling. Who wants to go outside in that crap.
I'm still moving to BC...eventually.

Kid, there are several methods that can be used to create warmth to us humans...hmmmm...one could almost write a book. You can layer, several thin but heat efficient fabrics - the natural route, ie. wool, silk, cotton etc. or you can go the man made route with the whole line of "therma" brands, or, food and drink that warms the body, mind and soul or activities that create body warmth and finally, snuggling up to another body and using that in conjunction with one, some or all of the aforementioned - and you should be feeling some warmth

If not, I send you warm wishes and say stick to your goals and you will soon be in BC
