Sweltering heat or frigid cold, you prefer?

July 26, 2005 4:42:45 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums
Unscientific poll question for all:

Would you rather have to deal with sweltering heat (high 90's F, high humidity, heat index of 110 or higher) or frigid cold (lets say 20 degrees with a persistent wind that makes the windchill temperature around 5 - 10 degrees F)??

Which do you prefer, and if you don't mind, why do you prefer one over the other?

Heat is YUCKY! In the cold you can dress warmly or stay indoors..in the heat you just suffer. I hate the summer!

You can always put on enough layers to stay warm. You can strip naked and still suffer from the heat. Also, you can cuddle up to conserve body heat. Piling into a nice warm bed isn't as much fun if you are suffocating from the heat.

Hehe. That's why I prefer the cold. Gives me an excuse to spend the day snuggling with my wife in front of the fire.

That, and I'm cold natured. I find it easier to ignore cold than I can hot. That's why some of my coworkers weren't very surprised when they drove up to our hotel one evening and saw icicles forming on the window to my room. In Fayetteville, NC in the middle of July.

With my condition I can't take the heat at all, it makes the MS worse. Although extreme cold isn't much better. I prefer cold, always have. MS mucks up your bodies ability to regulate it's internal temp.

Wow, I'm the first to say I prefer the heat? I really do. It seems like once I get cold, I stay cold til Spring. I'm definately living in the wrong state to not appreciate winter: Minnesota. (Did I mention that I swell up from mosquito bites too? Too bad moving's not an option....Go Vikings!)

just to be the contrary f*ck that I am. I prefer 72 degrees with 30% humidity and a nice steady 3 mile breeze.
