Especially when you can't even walk around naked, not that it does much considering anything over your normal body temp even naked will make you hot. Especially if you're active.

Cold though... mmmmm I love the cold. Snow too. And the fact I'm currently stuck in Florida has me hating things more than usual. Then again, my normal body temperature last time it was taken (2 weeks ago) was 96.7, so that probably helps.


I'm 100% with you on that anyone wanting to live in such a place is quite insane. I don't know what other people find so attractive about this place. Spring is barely here when it starts to get into the three digits. And there's a new record each and every year, mostly.


The way I feel about it is at least if I ever got too cold some how I could bundle up but when you over heat you can only take off so much clothing

This is so weird... once again, I completely agree with this. Everybody's always saying how nice the weather in southern california is, but I hate it. Cold weather makes me feel alive; heat makes me a zombie. Also, like Ebonwinter said, you can always add more clothing but you can only take off so much before it becomes inappropriate or even illegal.

I have this thing that runs in my family where my hands are always frozen. Even if it's 90F, they're still cold. It doesn't really take much to get me cold though- I'm short and thin so the cold air just goes right through me. I like it best when the temperature is about 86F with humidity and a slight breeze. It's been in the single digits here lately and it really sucks. I do dress appropriately for the winter unless the heat is on too high. It's almost always either too hot or too cold in this house.

I'm always being asked why I'm not wearing a jacket, but I think a lot of that has to do with 1) I recently moved to somewhere warm (no snow ever!) so everyone else has a different definition of "cold" and 2) I only have one school sweater (the others are so itchy I refuse to wear them) and it's always stained or covered in fuzz or paint or lint or whatever else I managed to get into that morning, so I don't bother.

Ugh, I forgot to add Arizona to that list. At least yours and Cali's heat is a dry one. Stuck here in FL it's humid even in the winter and summer 100+ with 99% humidity... I swear to Gaia I'd rather be stuck in an wood chipper I think.

I am also comfortable in the cold. I assumed it was due to living in Michigan my entire life.

I love to bundle up. To wear a coat, and I love to snuggle under many blankets. Especially if they're heavy blankets, not the light ones. Plus, the cold gives one a great excuse to drink hot chocolate. :D My parents look at me like I'm weird when I want a warm drink.
