I always have to ask people about that, because I really felt so cold in the movies (I admit the AC was part of it, but I'm sure even if wihtout that problem I would've felt cold).
Oh right I always forget it's based on a book. How is the book, worth a read?
Totally feel you, I get that it must be an amazing view but at what cost? I mean I might prefer colder weather over hot summer weather, but I'd avoid that kind of cold weather too.
