I like not too hot..... not too cold.
Hate humidity and thunderstorms!!!!!!! and wind,
And hate snow and ice and yes I need to move I know lol.
(loved winter as a kid..not so much as an adult lol)
Ok fine, but there is such thing as too much of a good thing. Say you lived in Manitoba or something, I bet the cold would start to get a little tiring about a week after New Years. By March you will be begging for those warm spring days to arrive. Just saying sometimes people aren't careful what they are wishing for.
Well I would love to find out if that is true because I sure do hate the hot weather in Houston!
Fave weather?
on the cool side. Like daytimes highs about 40-55 degrees F
nights 25-35 degrees F.
I don't like it all the time, but I do like rainy weather and overcast days too.
I like a dry feel to the air, low humidity (when it's not raining, of course.)

I think when you live in an area that has quite bit of extreme temps, be it hot or cold, (Texas is HOT, beastly HOT!) you tend to get tired of it and yearn for the opposite. That said, however, I think ILNC and I enjoy cold temps and dislike heat even more than most Texans do!
I like 65-70 degrees, skies with half cloud, half sun, with a slight breeze. I'm not sure how I would like it for extended periods of time, but on days like this, I try to be outside as much as possible.

Manitoba is the kind of place where -40 F windchills are just "par" for January.
Basically, it has some of the most severe cold experienced in North America.
The main difference is that the severe cold doesn't (normally) last as long as it would in say, central Alaska.
If you want to get an idea what extreme cold feels like to exposed skin,
imagine someone has a garden hose filled with ice-water,
not regular water; specifically ice-water.
Now they open the tap up wide and spray you full blast with that ice water continuously;
you always feel its presence, just facing the wind is like getting a direct blast of "ice-water spray."
That description is actually fitting for about -20 F.
For temps like -40, -50 F etc. add a strong fan blowing at you
while you're being hosed with that same "ice-water-spray."
I think my favorite is below freezing temps and sunny skies. I love a winter day in the 20’s (or below) with blue skies and long, stark shadows of barren trees on the crisp, bright white snow. The sun looms far toward the southern horizon and the sky takes on a deep cobalt blue hue. Ahhhh... only 6 more months!
I also like (almost as much as the above) temps somewhere in the 35 F to 45 F range with overcast skies and a misty, light fog in the atmosphere. The trees and buildings become soft, flat shades of grey. Everything takes on the surreal look of a watercolor painting. Interestingly enough, my mood actually improves in this sort of ‘mystical’ weather.
