When I was younger I would have agreed. The heat sucks, but when temps get below zero **** just doesn't work right. I hate the nights of -30 hoping nothing goes wrong with my furnace and all the vehicles will start the next day.

Yeah but if you're furnace goes out there are plenty of back up options. If the air conditioner crap out ur ******.

Regarding your vehicles I suggest ditching the carburetated vehicles and upgrading to the world of fuel injection, it is pretty sweet.

I'll take the extreme heat. And once you move away to a warmer climate and live there for awhile, so will you.

OHELLNO. Some of us were smart enough to move AWAY from Texas.

Honestly there are about as many modern secondary options for cooling as there are for heat if you really couldn't' handle it for a couple days.

I’ve been to the hottest game in Jack Trice and I’ve been to the coldest. I had fun at the coldest and I rethought my life choices at the hottest. Give me -20 degree wind chills over 110 degree heat indexes any day.

There is something exciting about bundling up and going out in sub zero temps. There is nothing exciting about walking outside when it's 100+.

I lived in Florida for several years after college. When people asked me about moving back home to Iowa with the winters, my response was always, “You can always put on more clothes, but you can’t get more than naked.”

I still like being outside even when it’s freezing. I go for walks way more in the cold months than I do when it’s insanely hot and humid. I bundle up and just walk around downtown. It’s peaceful and I stay cozy with the layers. Wouldn’t even consider it on days like today. Folks probably wouldn’t enjoy me being in my birthday suit, either, but you get my point.

The coldest for me was the KU freezer bowl...we stayed for the whole game so bundled we could barely move, and had a blast.
The hottest was the season opener two years ago. I ended up spending most of the first half in the aid station getting water misted on me & ice packs behind my knees & neck. We went home at half time.

I can always put on more layers. There's a limit to how many I can legally and aesthetically remove in public

You don’t like women in bikinis?

Worked outside most of the day. By 10 am (started at 9) my shirt was fully drenched and by 11:15 my pants just below my pockets was as wet as my shirt. Humid enough that it was just hard to catch your breath at times.

This is sweat through your Carhartt bibs weather.

We said F it around 11:00, took an early lunch and just did inside stuff. Rest of the roof can wait until Wednesday, roofers aren't coming until Thursday.

I like leaving a little to the imagination.

Just need to figure out how to take out Target Field and insert Jack Trice Stadium for this pic

Left MPLS this morning at 10 am,....a balmy 88*.

Got in to Muskieville at 3 pm,....96*, 70% humidity, index 117*.

 

[WartburgClone]

I don't see what the big deal is. Spent my lunch break in my car with windows down, no A/C.

 

[WartburgClone]

As for the whole hot vs cold debate, there was one week in January a few years ago where I lost internet for an entire week. That's when I realized I'd rather lose power in July than January.

 

[Cy4Lifer]

Give me extreme cold over extreme heat any day

Yes, you can always bundle up and add another layer to stay warm. Can’t do the opposite when super hot!

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Rain coming? I hope we get some. Pretty good light show.

Took the dog for a short walk.

There’s so much water in the air, I don’t know how giant storm don’t fire off at some point here soon

It did in Twin Cities. Second one at 530 am knocked out my power. Crossing fingers it gets retored today. Don't need to be tossing out another bunch of food...sort of an annual thing these days.
