Cold weather

Recently, while at my cousins house, the kids were watching cartoons. When the commercials would come on it was all about cold weather, snow, and how to put on all the appropriate cold weather clothing. I found this really amusing because while we can occasionally have a cold day down here in South Texas we really never require all of that snow gear. For example, today my kids could have worn shorts and a t-shirt in the afternoon. I know that for many of you those commercials are appropriate but not so much for us!
What's the weather like up in your neck of the woods?
