Cindy Breaks It Off With Winter

On a "Dear Winter" note on her Facebook page, Cindy declares: "I'm breaking up with you. The sparkling, glittering promise of our relationship has dulled to mind-numbing greyish mush. I told you I needed space, yet you constantly smother me with unwanted attention. I am over you."

DFO: I'm already tired of Junior, who's spending his first winter in Florida, and the family branch that's located in central and southern California mentioning in phone calls how swell the weather is in their neck of the woods.

Question: What do you say when friends and relatives who live in better climates mention that it's 75 degrees outside and they plan to drive around town with the top down?
