I think I missed out on the whole 'better sense of direction' thing.

Like anything, it varies person to person.

Speaking solely for myself:

Great sense of direction
Keeping calm in tense situations (lost, accidents, etc on and off mountain)
Pretty good at driving through snow


Bad at:

Finding weed (because I don't smoke!)
Pain tolerance (I can be a wuss sometimes)

Forgot the weather thing, I'm good at that too.

That, however, does not change the fact that I'm a virgin one bit.
