Well, I personally moved from cold climates that had bad winters, to San Diego. It was a good strategy for enhancement of life quality that I can strongly endorse, and winter avoidance, along with all that entails, was certainly a major motivation in my doing so.
In any case, I'll happily bow out of this helmet thread now, as it's pretty clear that most folks who don't wear them already have thick enough skulls to serve as their own protection for the level of brains that they have already.
