I picked brutal winters as the worse though I have never experienced much if any winter weather [frost doesn't occur in Los Angeles]. But if I had to stay indoors non-stop and then only be able to stay a few minutes outside due to the potential of frostbite I would be very unhappy. Brutal summers are a ***** but at least you can go outside after sunset & just wear shorts & flip flops.

Being born in a cold place(Illinois), I was never raised there long enough to get used to it and came up in an area where the heat was intense enough during most of the year to make anything below 50 degrees nauseous.
That said, I'm quite effective up to 130 degrees, but have experienced cold (-10) weather bad enough to make me hurl and put me out of commission for a few days.
OTR trucking tends to expose you to a variety of extremes.
Luckily, you were out of it within a matter of hours or days.
I have lived with both and I say screw it - I am planning on living someplace with neither (once we finally get to chose where we live again). The older I get the more I reject the cold.

Don't believe people who tell you you have to stay inside during the winter in cold weather cities. I live in St Paul and am out every day, as are most other healthy (non-wimpy) people.

I agree, if that is what you like.
The same goes for warm weather cities.

Cold weather makes you hurl? For real? Never, ever heard of this; certainly not as any kind of sympton of hypothermia. Must be miserable.
Hurling IS associated with heat stroke...
...now, the thought of shoveling snow makes me WANT to hurl, but that's another issue...

But if a person isn't covered up from head to toe during sub-zero temps they will get frostbite pretty quick. Walking outside on a summer day in Phoenix\ Las Vegas\ Palm Springs will be very uncomfortable also & potentially dangerous for some people. But once the sun sets even if it is still hot the comfort level goes up. There are outdoor restaurants in the Southwest that have sprinkler systems of very fine water sprayed down over the eating area. It can be quite comfortable even in 95F heat once the sun sets.
In brutal winters a person can't go outside for more than a very limited amount of time & never at night. In brutal summers a person can at least go outside at night.
