Don't mind cold a bit, as long as I'm not slipping on ice all the time.

Grew up with 100-115 degree summers, but can't stand high temperatures.

I prefer things on the cool side, around 55-60 F. However, one of my best friends, who is also Aspie, freezes to death whenever it's below 70 F.

I find that I feel much warmer when its snowing and 20 degrees, then when its 40 degrees and raining. That latter kind of cold isnt good IMO. Its the perfect condition for flu bugs etc.

Cold weather sucks. I deal with it if I absolutely have to, but anything below about 60 degrees outside and about 70 degrees inside makes my skin feel irritated and I get cranky unless I can find long sleeves or a heater. Anything below 30 and I go outside looking like an Eskimo.

To be honest I get more bothered by hot weather than cold weather. At least in cold weather you're not sweating and feeling like you have no energy.

I can't stand really hot temps....they make me go batty.
I definitely find it easier to be comfortable when the weather is cooler..but being born and raised in tx...i am probably not suited for extremely cold climates.

We tough guy (i.e., we don't care); still sweat and shiver overtly like most everyone else though.

I like cold weather, especially where I get to use my Ice Axe :twisted:.
Although I love the summer, I usually end up getting very droswy.

I prefer cold weather to hot weather, even though I have to wear 5 shirts and 3 pants if I want to keep myself warm when it's cold. Hot weather, on the other hand... well, I hate it because I take off everything and still feel hot. I can't take off my skin now can I? 8O

In -2c (28f) weather, I typically only wear an insulated jean jacket. Of course, I'm pretty far inland, and I'm bordered by mountains, so it's a dry cold. On the island, it's much worse.
