Heh, you get that in the UK too, and the temperature differences between north and south are hardly any different. If you went for a night out in Newcastle, whatever the weather, the locals will be going about in their shirt sleeves or less, and I always laugh when I'm out and see people bundled up in ten layers of clothing when the temperature goes below 10c. Anything above that is warm to me having grown up in the coldest house in the UK.
Funny though, it rarely crosses my mind that the 'Downs is an American site, because nobody comes across as being all that different to anyone else. Do you have Barrows in the Americas? I know there is a lot of sacred rock art and I've seen pictures of earthworks, but I'd be interested to know if there are any actual barrows!
