Exact opposite on deneb78....he wants to live in the mildest suburb, hates snow.
Small differences for me would include the wind. Calm vs cold breeze can make a huge difference
in how I felt outdoors. Temps....a five degree difference can make a big difference,
20C...a bit cool, 25C very nice, 30C a bit uncomfortable, 35C untolerable, 40C stay inside.
In Summer including September, I once again remember how important humidity is.
The temperature was 35℃ today but I was okay because humidity was not high.
In early July, 35℃ killed me because of too much humidity (Heat Index was around 45℃).
Same temperature but how I felt was so ****ing different
When it gets warmer than 78F/26C, it matters quite a bit if the sun is out or not. If it is a cloudy day or partly cloudy day, I am not that uncomfortable even on the most humid days. If it is sunny out, it makes me feel hotter and annoys me since I much prefer low-lying layers of grey clouds, especially in summer.
Like many others, I care about small variations in temperature when it is around freezing. I prefer colder weather because it means snow is more likely. I also care about colder weather in the higher layers of the atmosphere, because snow is preferable to freezing rain or sleet. Also, in the summer, a variation in a few degrees of the dew point can make a big difference in comfort levels.
Just below freezing vs just above freezing for precipitation. I hate when it stays just above freezing in winter and rains if said winter is lacking in snow.
If there's already been several good snowfalls that winter, I don't mind it. I don't mind an occasional winter rain (interspersed with snows of course) But if it's already gotten to mid January and there hasn't been a good snow and then we get one of those 33-39 F rain days, I don't like it one bit. Unless there's a very high chance of snow in the forecast.

Tell me about it. Where I am, forecasting snow is one of the hardest jobs out there; while it's probably not as tough out where you are, we've all experienced what the difference between 33F and 31F can do all too much.
The freezing point. 3°C is misery, -3°C is winter wonderland.
I hate 3-4℃ with lots of rainfall in January. That's how weather goes in January where I live. 3-4℃ with lots of rainfall ( Average low is around 3℃ in January).
