I can attest to that....when I was in Cheyenne Wyoming for 3 years (coming from S. Texas) I was amazed to see the young kids (10-11-12 years old) playing in the snow in their T-shirts while I huddled near my Furnace watching from inside my house. I never did get used to all that super cold dry weather. My ear lobes would crack/bleed and separate from the side of my head because of the super low humidity. I went through a thousand chap sticks!! NEVER AGAIN!!!
