Batesmotel Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Medium. But the older I get the less I like winters. Old injuries don’t do as well in the cold as in the heat. We get extremes both ways here. I look forward to summer. I almost dread winter. Edited October 23, 2018 by Batesmotel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I much prefer the cold. Once it gets to about 75 outside I'm just about done. On the other hand, working outside in a t-shirt when it's below freezing doesn't bother me if I stay busy. I remember getting yelled at in the Army when it was 20 degrees outside plus wind and we were unloading a truck and I took my uniform top off because I was starting to sweat.

PNWguy Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I love the cold, but I'm fat, so... Even when I was 220lbs and 10% body fat I preferred the colder temps. I've been in 125 degree heat at Fort Irwin and -70 wind chill in Iowa. I survived both. But these recent 65 degree sunny days here in North Idaho have been perfect. Going camping next week in my pop-up camper and upper twenties at night will be wonderful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneshotonepill Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I hate the cold. It's been in the 60s and raining here lately, and I'm already bitching about it. I love my 100°F summers in Texas. My wife just landed a job way up north... in Waco, Tx, so we are currently moving. It's going to be so cold up there.❄⛄❄ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collim1 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I used to be very hot natured and constantly wanted fans and cool air. As I’m aging I am no longer hot natured like I used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Mostly neutral. When it comes to extremes, I think I do better with higher temperatures than lower, though. A few years ago, we worked outside for three days in Las Vegas in August and it was 112 each day. I was pretty uncomfortable, but did well considering I had zero preparation. We stepped off the plane and drove straight to the site at 2 pm and worked until 11 pm. All but one of my colleagues from VA had to get to some AC pretty quickly. I also lived on the gulf coast one summer and didn't have trouble with the heat. When I have worked outside in the winter, I think I froze worse than people around me. Maybe they seemed happier than they were, though. Lol Edited October 23, 2018 by Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyzz Kydd Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Doesn't matter to me. I've shot matches in 90+ degrees, 90+ humidity, and I've shot them in the teens with snow on the ground. The same for fishing. I know how to layer for cold and I tolerate heat very well. When my buddies have sweated through their clothes I'm usually still pretty dry. I don't like rain much, though I've shot matches in that too. In fact I had a nice 17 second 10-10-4+ Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun stage last Saturday while it was raining.

Borg warner Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I grew up in western New York near Buffalo so the cold has never bothered me. But I lived in Los Angeles for many years and absolutely hated the hot weather unless I could be near the ocean. I spent time in both the Mojave and Borrego deserts and I tolerated it but those kinds of temperatures are unfit for human life. It's no wonder the Arabs are such disagreeable people living in those Gawd-awful desert Hell-holes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to a colder climate and at first I actually enjoyed the winters but now that I'm getting older I'm not liking the cold winters as much.

tadbart Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I like it cold. Actively working toward being "Ol Hermit Tad up on the Mountain." Much over 74, I get grumpy. Much under 10, I get grumpy too. And then, let's talk humidity. I HATE IT. Which sucks, living in Florida. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 As I grow older, I hate the cold, which is why I moved to the south. But, this summer was a bit too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c10bonanza Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Pretty much neutral. I live in an area where winters are usually low teens or single digits and windy and summers are routinely 100 degrees with high humidity and heat indexes of 100+ I sweat like a pig in the humidity. I like fall, winter, and early spring the best. I tolerate summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullClip Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I don't mind being out in the cold as I dress for it. In the summer there are maybe 7 days where it's "hot" here, and it's a good excuse to sit by the lake with a cold beer or 3. But I hate being cold in the house. I either have the wood stove going or the thermostat set for 70 in the winter, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
