Too cold. Even though you can dress for the cold, the idea of putting on multiple layers of clothes to keep warm does not appeal to me. And if its too cold and you expose any skin you can get frost bite. I would rather be in 105 degree heat with a tank top and shorts and a bottle of water hanging by the pool.

Too cold, no question about it.

I actually enjoy the occasional 100 degree day here and there.

-20 degree days? -not so much.

Too hot. People become hot and bothered. It gets uncomfortable, real quick. You come outside for 2 minutes and you could just stand there and you have to go back and take a shower again. Bugs agitating you every step you make. There's not any clothes that will keep you cool. I like dry heat though. Wouldn't mind if it was 90 degrees with 3% humidity. But 90 degrees with 60% humidity is hell on Earth. Washington DC residents know what I'm talking about.

I do love Chicago winters. Wear clothes and you'll be fine. Get a snow blower if you have a drivethru at your home. Turn the car on to heat it up just before you leave to do what you have to do. Can deal with it much more. But now if you're talking about Barrow, Alaska winters, than I'll take DC summers anyday lol.

I hate too hot, but I also love it

I hate too cold but I kinda like it--sometimes, but then again I dont think I've ever felt 0 degrees before, so that might not be so good,

but my vote would go for too cold as the worst

In my opinion, too hot is worse.

As already stated, you can always put on more and better cold weather designed clothing and be comfortable, but you can only take off so much without being arrested.

In this heat wave, I'm longing for the cold weather. But I'm sure I will change my mind once the cold hits.

Too hot. You just cant dress for it, and that sucks! Plus, everyone is grumpy and tired, sweaty and stinky. Give me cold, fresh, clean air anyday. Its more refreshing, you smell great, wakes you up instead of making you tired.
