I LOVE the heat, I HATE being cold. I think 68 and lower is cold. I usually where a sweatshirt until 75, sad thing is I live in a very cold climate. My body agrees with the heat, I have pains when it gets too cold. Maybe thats just in my head because I don't like the cold haha.

You are my exact opposite. Cold lover here who got stuck growing up in a hot place. I solved the problem though as soon as I was able by bailing the heck out of it when I was 21.

I strongly suggest to people who hate the climate where they live to consider moving. It makes a BIG difference in one's over all happiness

Heat is far easier to deal than cold for me.
40 °C is much pleasant than -5 °C.

I think it would be interesting to ask this question again in, say, March.

At which point, if last winter is any guide, that people are good and sick of cold?

In March I'm able to handle cold much better than now when it's a shock to my body.

Perfect example last week when it got chilly in New England. I'm going out for a morning ride, how do I dress? I will have to take layers off as the temp gets warmer too, never mind as I get warmer.

No thanks, I'd rather start out hot and just stay hot. Same amount of clothing, no thinking, less laundry to wash and no clothing explosion in my car.

You die pretty quickly in extreme heat.

I hate long hot summers!
