People think I'm crazy when I say I prefer winter over summer, but its because **** like this. When its -30 out, I just have a fire and sip on some bourbon.

You are not crazy. Having worked many years in both, they both blow but for me.....it's this 6 days a week and twice on Sunday. Put on a white long sleeve shirt, a hat that has a neck protector to keep the sun off you and with enough water can work all day long. You get that -30 below wind chill, you can never get warm. And the amount of clothes it takes to stay warm......! Plus in that type of cold nothing else wants to work as well i.e. tools. Can't do paint....brick or any other type of exterior work. Yes....this heat blows but much more preferable than a brutal winter cold snap.
Today's interesting tidbit. Now 6 Consecutive Days with a heat index over 100. Likely 7 tomorrow. If that's made it ties for 3rd longest heat wave with respect to heat index since 1936.
Today also made 3 straight days of 110+. I'm still digging but have only found two other instances that match. July 2011 and Aug 1983 (State Fair was brutal that year)

A zero degree day is so much better than a 100 degree day. It's not close.
Weather people could just save TV time and say it is just damn hot.
A zero degree day (with no wind) is better than a 100 degree day!
Beyond a certain point it doesn't really help.
I'll take the kind of weather that doesn't physically hurt to be outside in.
Nest App. Yesterday tops Wednesday… holy smokes…22.5 hours!!
Was warmer on Wednesday, but overnight was probably hotter Wednesday night / Thursday morning which drove up usage for Thursday.
