Guilty--I don't like the very cold or the very hot. I like to be comfortable. Now, consider very cold is -30 and colder lasting for several days in a row. One day here or there, not a big deal Very hot is worse though. Pretty much anything over 90 is just too warm for my liking.

Plenty of people in Florida complain about the heat and humidity though too.

I'd take 90 degrees any day over anything below zero. I like the warm weather.

True, but the humidity last summer was pretty brutal.

I love it when it only drops to 70-75 at night.. that feels so.. right.. for me. It's so rare here though for that to happen. Sticky, humid nights. Hot, humid days. I do love variety though. Rapid City, SD with the chinook winds would be nice. I wouldn't want it super warm year-round.

I always figured most Minnesotans would enjoy the colder climate because it allows them to partake in a variety of winter time sports.

Personally I'd rather deal with the cold than the heat. You can dress for the cold. When I was a teenager the temperature hit minus 28 degrees F without the wind chill during a Klondike Derby outing one night in northern Connecticut while I was in the Boy Scouts. I will still take that kind of colder weather over the the 95 to 105 degree air temperatures with 80 degree dew points that are common in the Kansas City region in the summer. The past two summers I actually recorded heat indices of 123 degrees three times and 122 degrees twice. Several other times the heat index exceeded 115 degrees! No thanks.

How did this turn into a thread about how hot it is? I thought we were complaining about crazy drivers.
