I've sold 5 sweatshirts to guests from Georgia today. They came 1000+ miles north with no sweaters and really regretted it (perspective: it is approaching 70 degrees right now...).
lmao........approaching 70 is way too cold for us southerners! Anything below 70 is unacceptable, so to me.....60 is 10 below. :lol:

i'm get that intolerant of the cold too and now consider 76°F to be just right! If i were back in England, that's warm enough to swim in lakes and hit the beach.

i'll have to hand over my man cards at this rate.

They do kind of shrink up in the colder water, don't they?

I prefer mid 80's for swimmin. Can handle 76 if the wind isn't blowing or it isn't rainy. Any chill just makes my bones hurt.....feels like they are frozen. Weird part is.... I can have that frozen bone/pain issue going on, and be sweating really bad at the same time

In my younger days, it couldn't get hot enough for me, loved it. In the middle of summer, I'd take my vacations, and head for the Mojave desert for prospecting. I did stay away from Death Valley however, just kinda skirted around the edges of it. Now, I don't do well in the heat at all, don't much like the cold either. Kinda leaves me a narrow range, and don't get much here in that range.

But my preference is 60s and low 70s daytime, 40s at night.

Very glad for both of us that we have central heat and air. Doesn't help my poor son much with his wife, daughter and me in the house. that poor kid could sweat in a snowstorm, so he never gets it cool enough for his preferences. They both like it cold at night though, so to keep from freezing their daughter, they sleep with two fans on em. I'd be shivering so badly you'd think I had a vibrating bed! :lol:

I used to not understand how people could feel cold. I always felt hot, like I had a furnace burning inside me.

Then I got older, plus lost 100 pounds. All of a sudden, I didn't like the cold anymore. I would lay in bed shivering, bones aching when I lived in my son's house (He likes the cold.).

Now, I'm kinda in between, thankfully.

Kind of like back when I couldn't understand how people could be tired. Boy, do I know now!

Im unfazed by weather...hot, cold, whatever. I can handle -30 to 100. But my preference is 60s and low 70s daytime, 40s at night.

80s if swimming, like Deb :) but our water is always cold, so I never swim. (cant do cold water at all)
I had a day I was happy with the weather once :)

I prefer colder weather. Thats just how I am!! I love snow, rain, and the such. I think thats called being a glutton for punishment. I prefer it to be in the 60's or lower. I have been know to sleep in the winter with the window next to my bed open regardless of how cold it is outside. I sleep best when its cold. There was a time when I almost rented an old cafe that sat empty for a few years and had the thought of turning the freezer into a bedroom but I was young then and most of the crazy ideas I had actually made sense...to me and only me!! We all have our own little quirks I think!!

Grew up in Minnesota, worked as a logger there for quite a few years. I worked in -30 temps many a day. Any colder than that, we usually gave up because it would take all day to get the machines started. Most of my work was near the Canadian border just below the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. One stretch back in the early 70's, the temperature never rose above -10 for 20 days. Nighttime temps ranged between -30 and -50. Mighty cold country.

I live in prolly the mildest climate in North America - about a 50F swing from coldest winter night to warmest summer day. I joke with the folks at the hardware store whenever I buy a new yard thermometer that I should get a discount as I'll only be using a quarter of it.

Personally, I feel pretty much all temperatures have their place and use (or at least there's something fun to do at most every temp). I just hate it when they're out of sync with what I need to do - cold when I need it hot and vice versa.
