Ok Chris, here is what you can do: Pretend you're here in Dallas with me and enjoying this 78 degree weather. Tomorrow's high should be in the low 80's. See how much warmer you feel already? 
This helps Dallas but in another way it doesn't help

Its a big help because that thought, that warmness and just being in Dallas makes me feel so much better straight away

but then the other side I've got the envy of you enjoying those temperatures while we got this ridiculous cold that won't go away

I'm looking forward to around a 50C/100F swing in temperature come the middle of January
