You must live very close to me, I'm actually in Slinger. :wave: :wave: Howdy neighbor!

It has dropped from 9F to 0 here in the last half hour or so, should be another chilly night.

Now I am beginning to understand the meaning of the concept of "winter". The inside of my freezer doesn't ever get that cold.

I think my co-workers are starting to question my sanity. It was 19F outside today, and I'm walking around out there with just a shirt on, as usual. (Also had on pants and shoes, just no coat).

No gloves, no hat, no scarf. I'm used to the cold. It usually only bothers me when it's 14F and windy.

I've got co-workers bundled up from head-to-toe, standing outside, smoking their cigs.... shivering like crazy. And I'm walking by in just a dress-shirt, doing this.... :wave:

I feel sorry for them.... and for some of you guys.

So, out of curiosity, how well do you handle hot weather? That is - is your temperature tolerance biased or are you just very resilient?

 

[JakeGMCHD]

I'm with you Monocrom still wearing a wind breaker here it's been -20*F before wind chill here the last 2 days. In Rockford,IL it was -30*F before wind chill early this AM.

 

[Superdave]

it was -26F here last night.. with the windchill it was about -40F.


I took the oppertunity to spray hot water out the kitchen window and make snow. 🙂

My temp. is, unfortunately, biased. I can't stand hot weather.

I like Summer about as much as vampires like the Sun.

(When it's cold, you can keep adding more layers of clothing. When it's hot, you quickly run out of clothes that you can take off; in order to be comfortable).

I'm the same way, just a little less tolerant of cold. For today's 15°F weather I wore two sweaters, a windbreaker, and a sweatshirt, plus gloves. I was actually sweating after walking half a mile. At above 20 I can lose one of the sweaters. I go riding with just the windbreaker plus a sweater when it's in the 40s. I really don't like temps above the mid 50s at all. Any kind of activity and I'm sweating, even with just a T-shirt.

The summers, I HATE them as much as you. Can't go out at all until after the sun sets. The air usually stinks of car exhaust plus the sunlight makes more heat than I can handle. Even at night, if it's much over 70 I'm not going to be comfortable. Humidity more than temperature is what makes NYC summers brutal.

One thing though is when I'm sleeping I need it to be warm. My metabolism really goes into low gear. BP falls, pulse drops into the 40s. I'd probably get hypothermia unless I keep the room warm.

Just out of curiosity, what's your normal body temperature? Normal human average is 98.6° F. Mine usually hovers in the high 96s. That probably accounts for my preference for cooler weather.

7 degrees here on Long Island,,,,

Brrrr...

 

[2xTrinity]

About 70F today in the south SF Bay area :nana:

How immature to rub in the fact that you're basking in warm weather while I'm suffering with intolerably cold temps of 26°C...

Oh wait a minute...

:nana:

Ironically, mine is the same old 98.6
