would you rather live in an area that is frigid cold year around (0-5 degrees) or in a overwhelmingly hot year around (98-104 degrees)???
Seems that the cold is looked down upon but I don't see why.. other than a little bit more commute time during snowy times. I have lived in Alaska, Hawaii, Florida, and Ohio. I must say that I am fond of the colder snowy type environments

You can put on enough clothing to make your body into a melting furnace if need be but you can't take off enough clothes to counteract the hell that is the insane heat of places like Florida.
Given the options...I go cold, as I could never function somewhere the temperature sits in the 100s every single day. 5 degrees every day wouldn't be any fun, either.

Exactly right. I'm moving up north from louisiana this spring because of the terrible weather here. It was getting into the 80s even in December. In May-sept we have heat indexes over 100. Even naked in front of a fan at home I was getting overheated. It's 40 today due to the cold front and I feel a million times better
Hot. At least I can swim and there is lush greenery around. In winter, even when you bundle up, you still feel cold a lot of times, especially on your face. And everything is dead-looking, besides the evergreens. When people think of winter, they tend only to think of the holiday season, when the first snow is nice and everyone plays in it. But they fail to think of when the holidays are over, and winter is kind of pointless. Roads are icy and it is hard to get to work. You have to shovel the driveway and scrape your cars and heat it for 10-15 minutes before going in it to drive to work, big snowstorms that cause power outages, etc. That's the reality of winter. Although I'd prefer to just have WARM weather, like Hawaii--80sF year-round with very few days above 89F, and the trade winds keeping humidity at bay.
I have found that people with poor circulation seem to prefer hot weather, and good circulation the cold .
Living in the mountains I would addd vinegar to my diet ,it seemed to improve my circulation and I could shovel snow while it snowing, wearing boots levis and t shirt.
I only bundled up in wet snow and search and rescue environments where you didn't know the situation your getting into nor for how long.
In active baby sitting machinery in freezing weather you had to bundle up ,but once you start working and beginning toe build a sweet you shed all that for the moment.
I avoid wetting my clothing with sweat during the winter ,it's safer.
I'll take "hot" for $200, Alex Seriously, though, while extremely hot climates aren't great, I much rather enjoy the heat and sun, and all of the activities one can do in such an environment, vs. the bone-chilling cold.
