Yeah no. I'll take cold over heat any day. At least when it's cold I can just add a few layers or do something to mitigate it. When it's hot theres only so many layers I can take off without becomming a sex offender.
A lot of people say that, but it does fuck all for my hands and face, and I'm still breathing in cold ass air.
I have heat retention issues, not heat rejection issues.
Perhaps the grossest feeling I've ever experienced was while I was stationed near Chicago during the winter and my nose hairs were freezing inside my nose, all while bundled up in as many layers as possible.
Fuck the cold; I'd rather be in the heat.
That being said, extreme heat is still miserable.
I prefer the cold because our insects are small and non-poisonous. I love in a brutally cold climate as well, it's worth it.
The best part is Spring and all the fresh life blooming all around... it's amazing.
Living with such extremes makes me appreciate the warm months so much more than I otherwise would.
To each their own but I'd still rather have numb limbs and frozen snot than be stuck in the heat. I live in minnesota so I'm more than used to snapping off snotcicles at -20F while shoveling the driveway. At least when it's cold you can still move your body without it making things worse. When it's opressively hot all you can do is sit there sweating and feeling miserable. Any activity just winds up making matters worse. There's nothing you can do except suffer. It's the temperature equivalent of having congested sinuses.
Of course like you said, you have heat retention issues. Meanwhile my body runs like a damn furnace. I just wish it also burned calories like one.
"People that grew up in warm climates prefer warmer climates. People that grew up in cooler climates prefer cold climates"
Not always, am Aussie grew up in, and still live in miserable humid heat, it's fucking terrible. Though our 3 days of 'winter' per year are rather nice
I'm the opposite. Grew up in a cold climate and hated it. Moved to the warmth now and loving life at the moment
What's your preference between the two though? Not being a dick, just curious. I grew up pnw US. I'll take the cold any day of the week.
Cold, you can mitigate it much easier. On a serious note our winter months are great, shorts and t-shirt and it's just good temp all round, and cool enough at night for a blanket at times! But yeah the warm months are not a good thing!
