Current Events > 110 degree weather > -10 degree weather

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wrong.

Cold weather > hot weather.

I'd rather deal with cold. Rather work on a heater than an a/c

No.

Huge fucking deny. I live in an area that will regularly hit -30 or worse windchill every winter with consistent below 0 normal temp and its always WAY better than hot and humid weather. Not even close.

No bugs in the winter, no mowing grass and yard work, no wrath of god thunderstorms with high winds, lightning, hail, and tornadoes that wipe a town out consistently. We get more tornadoes than anywhere in the US where I live.

Even ignoring all that just based on temp alone its super easy to stay warm in the winter meanwhile its legitimately impossible at times to stay cooled off. Fuck the heat and humidity.

Deny.

Extreme cold I can deal with, just stay inside with the heat on and throw on a couple blankets if needed.

Extreme heat your best bet is to stay inside with the air conditioning on, and if it's still too hot that your AC can't keep up, tough shit because you can only get so naked.

See sig

At least when it's hot as b@lls the sun is out and society is functioning.

When it's -10 it's dark and dreary at 2pm. Plus the snow, ice and wind.

You can bundle up, there is no amount of clothing or protection that makes 110 degree weather comfortable.

-10 Lmao

It gets down to the -50s here and I would still rather deal with that than +100.

I never experienced temperature in the negatives, but I am pretty sure you can just wear a bigger coat

Nothing you can do when it's 110 out

i find it easier to deal with the cold rather than the heat. plus, i don't stink after shivering for a few minutes, but i do after sweating in the heat

Cold is easier to deal with than heat. We get pretty close to both of those every so often in Missouri, but I'll always take the cold over the heat.

Major agree. Part of it is I live in a pretty humid place; part is just being cold natured and. But I'm comfortable at 80, or even 90 if it's shady.

But I want no part of 50. I was legit sobbing once waiting for the car to warm up when it was like 30 with the sun down, lol.

Logical arguments are invalid at that point. Like finding the silver lining in getting shot.

No bugs in the winter, no mowing grass and yard work,

You're telling me good things as if they're bad things, WTF?!

If you don't keep gloves with you at -10F, you'll lose fingers. But I wear gloves for anything below 40 F.

I prefer cold because I have asthma, and cold air has more oxygen. Heat and humidity is brutal for me.

Nah. I've had heat stroke several times when I was younger so my tolerance for heat is bad. Temps over 80 can put me in the hospital if I don't take precautions. So I would much rather be cold than hot.

Cold any day. I'll just bundle up.

Just put your hands in your pockets.

I love hot weather but still D. Even though winters have been getting warmer I still remember negative temperatures and -10 isn't so different from single digit temperatures.

Fuck no
You can add enough layers to make -10 ok
You can be completely naked and drenched in water and it'll still be too hot at 110

Once the temps get low enough, it hurts to breathe, esp. if the air is really dry. Feels like you have cold steel wool lining your throat and sinuses, which are also being mummified (high winds make it even worse. Have fun jogging or shoveling snow) I'm lucky that we don't normally get temps where the cold hurts your lungs, so it's something that I've only read about.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. We get two types of winter weather: icy rain fronts from the northwest, and dry, windy fronts from the northeast. The latter are physically much more unpleasant for multiple reasons (wind chill, utter lack of cloudcover unlike the former, extremely low humidity, colder temps, etc. Also less fun for the kids since it doesn't bring much snow, and what snow it brings is dust-like) but the former is far less convenient for commutes and weather damage. Luckily, there's a decent chance that NW fronts only bring snow and borderline-freezing temps that melts within 24-48 hours. Or if we're far less lucky, a western or southwestern front comes in for a day, melts some of the snow, and then gets kicked out by a western front that refreezes the melt into ice, then dumps snow on top of it, followed by freezing rain. Those things can last for a couple weeks.
Oh, and if we get a lengthy storm, it's not unusual for us to START with a NW front that quickly changes to a NE front. Or we'll have a NE front that a westernly front temporarily penetrates, drops freezing/mixed/normal rain on, and then gets kicked out by another eastern front. Basically, the sort of thing that is apparently common in the Midwest, since when I visited family there in the winter, I noticed that the ground consisted of several alternating layers of ice and snow.

The most common weather for us consists either of sunny dry days that only reach into the mid or high 30's during the day and then dip below freezing at night, wet drizzly days, or my absolute favorite-- sunny 45 degree days with rainy evenings and nights (the cloudcover prevents the heat from escaping, so it only gets down to 40 at night, and it's warm enough that some of the bugs come out during the day.)

Cold dry air can trigger asthma in some people. Particularly when they return to a warm(er) indoor environment. I'm sure you can understand why. Ever been outside in near-freezing or colder weather for awhile, then step into a room-temperature house and feel the need to cough?

I'd take the heat. It sucks, but I hate being cold more. Also the day/night cycle of winter here is depressing.

You can always add layers

You cannot always remove layers

Well, we're gonna be getting a lot of both from here on out

-10 isn't cold enough to hurt to breathe.

With the usual 25~40MPH east winds we get here with colder weather, that is most definitely false as soon as the temps dip into 30 or below. Engage in brisk activity for a good 20 minutes, and as I said above, it'll feel like your throat and sinuses are lined with steel wool and are being mummified with each breath. Only takes 5 minutes with moderate activity like jogging. Yeah, it sucked being a kid whenever we had weather like that-- which was fairly common for much of January and the first half of February.

The bad thing about extreme heat that not everyone talks about, is that the longer youre outside whilst exposed to direct sunlight. Your skin is literally being cooked by the UV lights, and if youre persistently in that direct sunlight with minimal shade or some kinda protection you will get blisters or something

I find the cold more tolerable than the heat

Not dealing with pipes bursting everywhere leading to no more water.

Strongly deny

I'd rather be warm than cool, but hate both extremes. Dying of heatstroke sounds more painful than freezing to death though. I think you just fall asleep with hypothermia.

Cold is way better than hot. If not for the danger of freezing pipes, -10 isn't really even particularly bad, as long as there's no excessive windchill.

Pretty sure it's the opposite?

Heatstroke is rather sudden, while freezing to death is a slow process.

A lot of people suffer from (not-fatal) heatstroke without even realizing they were at risk.

110 degree weather > -10 degree weather

lol

Heat I can stay hydrated and pay attention to myself in case things start to look bad while Im outside. Inside, I can follow the same, even easier of the air is on.

Cold, Im bundled up and theres no protection from the cold wind that will blow through every layer of clothing you have. Inside, I hate having to unbundle to freeze just because I need to go to the bathroom.

Agreed.

Is it? My mom is always saying heating to death is worse. But if heating to death has no symptoms and is quick while freezing to death is slow and painful, I'll take the quick death.

With the heat, you can still go outside, get some sun and then go in your car and turn on the A/c. It's still very beautiful out.

With the cold, it's dark and depressing. Sure you can bundle up, but that's not even the main problem. The biggest issue I have with the cold is the snow and ice. Having to shovel snow once a week or more is ass. Then having to deal with the snow and ice on the road while driving is also ass. There's not much to do outdoors when it's really cold, too. If you're not near any hills, there's no snowboarding. It's just endless snow and cold - you basically have to stay inside most of the time. 110 degrees is hellish, but at least you can go to the beach or the ice cream store and cool off while checking out babes wearing almost nothing.

Heat enjoyers trying desperately to convince us that baking to death is preferable to putting on more clothes and/or blankets.

110 isn't bad since it is likely dry heat if it is that hot.

Dry 110? Confirm. Humid 110? Deny.

I can put on more clothes if it's too cold. I run out of layers to take off once I reach my skin.

You can always put on more clothes and run a heater/fireplace.

You cant take enough off when the heat and humidity are against you.

Been in vegas 20 years. 120 fucking blows. Worst ever I remember back home was -3. I'd rather have the -3.

As someone living in Arizona, hard deny.

And if humidity is high on top you can drop dead within the hour

I've been in -40 degree and it's fine, man.. but 110 degree is an insult to humanity and the only ones who enjoy it are lizardmen.
