100.

I assume you mean daytime highs.

If 0 is your daytime high, it will only get worse after sunset. Chances are the nights are dropping to -20 or colder.


If 100 is the daytime high, the nights will be at least a little better .

Yea, I'm not sure if I'd take 100° highs over 0° lows, but if I prefer 0° lows it's only because I won't be out in them at night.

I'd take 0° lows over 100° lows, though 100° lows are rather rare outside of Death Valley

Assuming a high of 20 F or less with a low of 0 F
I would still prefer a low of 100 F.

I'd take 100 over 80 so I choose 100 without question.

0 is just a big NO on every level, would never even look out the window let alone go outside.

I guess technically it would be easier to go about your day with 100 F rather than 0 F. I dress the same whether it's 80 F or 100 F.

During the winter I tend to push my luck by not always wearing coats, hats, and gloves. But there's no messing around when it's 0 F.

I'll still take 0 F though. Maybe I should experience a winter in North Dakota or Minnesota before I make that choice.

Even 50 degrees is too cold for me. So guess which I choose.

I'll take the 0F anyday. I hate the heat of 100F or even 90F

*shudders*

Then again if there was no snow at all in conjunction with a low of 0, I'd pick 100, and my AC would be on 70 instead of 75. There, my AC would be kicking on every 5 mins like it did in the 07 heatwave. (Plus I'd be burnt to a crisp from boogie boarding during high tide at a beach) I'll assume there is no snow if we get a low of 0, and pick 100.
If it was between 50 and 100, 50 in a heartbeat for me. I really don't mind having to wear a sweatshirt and jeans (or long sleeves), most teens here actually do that when it gets to be 60 in fall.
