My husband and I purchased an old home in Northern New York State from two elderly sisters. Winter was fast approaching and I was concerned about the house's lack of insulation.
"If they could live here all those years, so can we!" my husband confidently declared.
One November night the temperature plunged to below zero, and we woke up to find our interior walls covered with frost.
My husband called the sisters to ask how they had kept warm in the winter.
After a rather brief conversation, he hung up. "For the past 30 years," he muttered, "they've spent the winter in Florida."

I'm pretty sure I've been behind them in traffic a time or two
