Agreed.

As a cool weather lover, I'd take 90 over -20.

Well, even though -20 is more extreme than 90.....I'd still take the -20

-20 is very uncomfortable. Try skiing in it. I was crazy enough do so once. Didn't last more than one run.

It is much easier to stay outdoors for long periods of time at 90 than it is at -20. Now if I only had to be outside for a few minutes the entire day...I'll light up a fire, brew some tea, and deal with -20.

Lol that's true. But i'd rather be "uncomfortably cold" than "uncomfortably hot"


To me, even though -20 is pretty extreme, I find it very exilihirating with the air nice, cold and refreshing

Hmmm. Well neither are very desirable, so I choose to simply be "comfortable".

But seriously...I think I would prefer to be uncomfortably hot. I've had too many experiences standing outside in even moderately cool weather (40s and 50s) for long periods of time and not really enjoying myself. But that was my fault for not dressing properly. On the flip side though, its usually easier to warm up than cool off.

Haha I dunno....whenever I'm uncomfortably cold I tend to be in a very good mood because even though I'm uncomfortable, I'm still enjoying it....I know I'm weird lol

On the other hand, when I'm uncomfortably hot, I tend to feel kinda grouchy and dizzy eventually.

Must be a "novelty-factor" for you, considering where you've lived...

I don't feel grouchy until looooong after I started to feel dizzy. (novelty-factor?)
A perfect summer day for me might involve feeling mild-dizziness half the day even.

In Minnesota, number of days above 90 are less than the and number of days below -20 so where I live, that question wasn't odd.

Dosen't most of Minnesota average 20+ days of 90 degree weather a year? I know Minneapolis averages 24 days of 90 degrees or higher every year and western MN up to around Moorhead I guess would average more while places along Lake Superior probably average maybe 2 or 3 days a year over 90.
