I know there are people who like to/must travel during the winter. They're not wimps like we are. Robyn
London is never really that cold.
If you wrote you were headed to Helsinki for the winter- OK- that is one thing.
It is 37 F this morning early in London- not wonderful however not too brutal either.
Personally some cities including Paris, London, and Milan are somehow more interesting in the winter.
