Ulfr where do you hail from? For me its Canada. I remember a few times
watching the snow fall at a camping event or whip sideways as it did a few
years ago at a labour day weekend event. Perhaps our version of cold is 2
different things. Plus, as I stated I have kidney (internal thermostat
problems).

It should be noted that when I say I "sleep around", I meant just that. No
removal of blankets until the appropriate time. lol I also have a tent
heater, but I don't fall asleep with it on. Even though I know logically
that my tent has adequate ventilation it would make me really nervous. It
sure does come in handy in drying ones hair of humidity before crawling into
bed though!

Of course this sleeping around doesn't happen all the time, just when its
cold. And gender is not an issue. With some folks I have a standing invite
that says if I'm too cold, I can snuggle up with them. I'm lucky and blessed
with good friends.
