Oh, WWII reference. Apparently there were reports of antifreeze freezing
I use that as my benchmark for real cold, but I’m a real wimp when it comes to temperature so anything below -10 CELCIUS is “very uncomfortable” for me. Honestly though, rain will ruin any day for me, regardless of temperature. Snow is quite pleasant unless it interferes with movement
Severe heat exhaustion was literally more comfortable that trying to walk with numb feet in freezing weather
Training in my garage, while the weather is around 100f makes me appreciate the good old days of training in a gym.
But…that level of sweat inducements does help with the mind-muscle connections.
When it gets really hot, it’s just hot. When it gets really cold, cities open up shelters for homeless.
People survived for hundreds of years without air conditioning, they wouldn’t have survived without fire/heat.
I’ll take summer over a chilly day any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
If you enjoy it, it is not hot 
Is that a real thing? I always thought I had some of my best days when it was hot as balls.
Seems to work for me
I ask, you answer. That is pretty much the same as actual science.
Depends what sort of heat. We were in Greece one week 91-100° and lovely then we were in Singapore the next week 80-90° and punishing…
Also length matters with heat, a 110° day is one thing but several of them strung together with hot nights is a totally different ballgame.
Also, once you start talking severe weather events it adds another layer to the discussion.
That’s true. I’m in Alabama and thought I knew what real heat was. Went and worked the Laura hurricane in Texas and Louisiana for a few weeks and my goodness, that was heat. Index in the 120’s almost everyday. Hottest I’ve ever been in my life. So, I’ll take my Alabama heat over cold 
I went to the North Pole last Christmas. It got to -25C. So nippy.
I loved the cold. I mean you wrap up warm and then your done. Late one night I had to pop to another building. I’m in my trousers and t-shirt. The next building is only 15m away. In the time it took to walk over there I started to shiver. You get in doors and the felling of sitting next to a fire is soo nice.
I just love the feeling of being warm in cold surroundings.
More to that story:
We (Family and I) went to Santa’s Lapland (hence the visit to Lapland, Norway) and we were in the open at minus 15/20C all day so we are already a bit chilly. We went to leave at about 16:00 as it is getting proper cold. But the queue for the coach was VERY long at this point. So I took the family into this Tepee thing they had open, where there was an open fire and they were serving warm fruit juice and pancakes with jam.
We sat with our feet on the fire warming up as the rest of the muggles stood in the cold waiting for the bus home and these Norwegian kids (teenagers who worked there) keep telling stories to my my kids about how they know Santa.
One of the best memories I have.
My phrasing was bad. It generally takes me a month to drink a 6-pack of beer. I don’t like drinking alone and we haven’t been socializing as much as usual. It was just bad timing on my part buying beer days before I decided my pants are a bit too snug.
The question is, at what point do you feel cold? I feel overheated at anything over 72F (~20C), but I am comfortable at cold temps. -40, not so much, but -40C is better than +40C. I can move and work a lot better at a cold temp, especially for cardiovascular stuff. And I hate laying around in the heat - on a beach or otherwise. I confess I can’t stand the beach and don’t understand why anyone goes there.
When a husband says he’ll do something, he’ll do it. You don’t have to nag him for 6 months.
I can go with everything but the beach thing here. There are certain times of the year when the beach is wonderful. Just not the summer.
They make some really easy to use stain/polish stuff that you can rub into scratches to cover them up. You just wax on, wax off and the gouge is gone!
Yeah it’s not just you. Especially when the sky is clear and the sun’s out, it’s like something just clicks.
I spent nearly a month training in the mountains in Korea, where it reached this temperature frequently. 40C sucks, but you acclimatize and can live and work outside for very long periods of time with absolutely no problem in 104 degrees F. -40 degrees will kill you. I get that this is “your opinion”, but I’m gonna go ahead and say that if I stick you outside for a week in -40 degrees, even with proper winter attire, you won’t prefer it to being stuck outside for a week in 104 degrees.
Talking about 40c and -40c as being equivalently hot and cold is questionable, imo. Freezing as the middle ground is cold, it makes more sense than boiling (obviously) but I don’t think it really works. I think 40 (104f) and -5 (23f) are closer to being equivalently far from comfortable.

I spend most of my time in Nicaragua doing volunteer work, an I am originally from Canada. I’ll take the -40, but it does make a big difference if it’s humid or not.
