cold >>> hot

there is no relief from hot (i don't have ac). there is only temporary relief from a pool or shower etc. not to mention that overnight there's fuck all you can do about it.

heat's cheap and easy to get, and personally winter wouldn't be the same without the biting cold and then that soft fuzzy warmth of arriving home at the end of a long cold day. you've never had hot chocolate until you've had a day outside in 0 degree weather to finally come in to a fire and hot chocolate

Another reason I love SoCal. It is never 0 degrees out, nor less than 50 during the day. w00t

yes, ok, so you can "put on more layers". sure. that's great. so my torso and legs will always be warm. no problem. but what about your face? can you really put on more layers there? how many face masks can you wear before that -20F temp doesn't hurt your skin?

i much rather prefer warm over cold. sure, the warmth and heat can be uncomfortable; and sure you do sweat a lot (especially if its really humid, like here in louisiana); but at least the warmth/heat doesn't HURT your skin.

that bitter cold up in chicago and iowa actually HURT your skin. you step outside and it just was painful.

i'd rather sweat, than shivver uncontrollably.

Wear makeup you nancy.

not if you have gas heat and an old drafty house.

i'm hoping the new high-efficiency furnace at my new place is way better than what i had last year. the thermostat never went above 60�F all winter, and monthly energy bills were still close to $300.

I'm sick of waiting for it to get colder. I don't air conditioning in my apartment and it's been AT LEAST 80 degrees here for the past couple weeks.

lots and lots of clothes. thats my bit kinda, when its too hot you can do a few things, and after that you're fucked. if its too cold there's always more you can do

mezz, don't you have a lumberjack beard? That must keep in better than when I build a chrysalis out of my power ranger blankets and hang from the bannister.

When you live in the middle of a city, all the outdoorsy stuff doesn't really work. It's just cold with snowy roads. I don't ski, board, Xcountry, snowshoe, or do any other winter outdoor sport, so that kills some fun for me. The colours are pretty, I'll give you that one. Blankets are for beds, my apartment has no fireplace, and hot cocoa is too fattening.

Besides, In the summer I get to wear all my cute bright colored American Apparel stuff. My winter wardrobe is still stuck in emo mode with loads of hooded long-sleeves and stuff like that. American apparel dosn't really make good winter clothes.

cold weather ftw

Posted by mezzir on Oct-20-2008 21:41:

American apparely is amazingly comfortable, though yeah i just know their t-shirts. though i also have stock in them. also, their ceo is batshit insane. i mean insaaaaaaaane

Posted by Krypton on Oct-20-2008 21:44:

81F here.

Posted by bas on Oct-20-2008 21:44:

American Apparel was great when they were cheap, but those assholes got greedy and now charge twice as much for the same merchandise. Totally not worth it now. That said, I did own this hoodie from them that I absolutely loved, cost me about $30 when I bought it. It's now somehow missing and I want to replace it, but not for over $50...cunts

Coming from a Midwestern Native... Chicago and Iowa winters... hurting? Man... the south has really softened you Bill.

Why not try on -45 with 50+ kt winds. That shit is cold. The occasional near zero with barely -5 windchills in the midwest is nothing.

To echo what other people feel - cold > warm. Why? Skiing, Snowboarding, Xcountry Skiing, Snowshoeing (yes this is the colder end of cold), Fall colours, blankets, fireplaces, hot chocolate... I could keep going on.

it IS about acclimation - and i've totally acclimated to the south. and did it rather fast. its just so much more comfortable down here. there is no pain associated with weather!!

my gas bill in the winter is always more than my electric in the summer!! lol.

also, hot chocolate is overrated.

such a waste of electricty and money. i agree w/ Myra that it sucks having a drafty house/apt...because you do waste energy/money with it....but that's what plastic is for (i.e. see rob's thread on winterizing your house). that's a better solution than paying money for a space heater and then paying electricity for it to run.

but you wouldn't know anything about that living in socal. lol :P
