Summer. Ugh.
My significant other and myself have a merry little argument about which is worse, excessive heat or excessive cold. He maintains that winter is the worst, and that he hates to be cold more than anything. But his level of whining when its hot gives lie to that.
I maintain that summer is the worst, especially around here. The sky is painful, and there is nothing you can do, when you are outside, to make things cooler for yourself. Its all suffering all the time. In the winter there are sweaters, and scarves, and tea. Warming up is easier than cooling down.
This is my round about way of saying its going to be 105 today, and so I’m drinking this fruity cup of tea, and then resigning myself to a fate of no tea for most of the rest of the day.
Bleh.

I’m with you. give me cold versus hot any day. ESP when you get hot and humid. ugh
Hurts.to.breathe.
I’m with you. It gets darned cold here in the winter, but I LOVE to put on my sweats or flannel and curl up to read with a cup of hot tea. I HATE heat and humidity. Either alone is torture. Put them together, and you feel like you’re living in Satan’s armpit.
I’ll take the heat pls!
I’m probably biased because I don’t live somewhere that gets really cold. (Its never snowed here), but the heat is blistering.
i’ve lived in -40 celcius weather and this humid armpit of +40 celcius…and i will take the frigid cold every time.
Sorry Indigobloom looks like you’re in the minority. But I think you’re lucky to be able to enjoy what many others hate.
And Rosehips 105 is quite unusual for North Dakota, but not unheard of. Our average high in July is like 84. Which is 15 degrees warmer than I like. Not that I’m dying for the -30 F, but -10 sounds nice.
I’m with Indigobloom – will take the heat over the cold anytime. I don’t understand easier to warm up than cool off. Once I’m cold – like really cold, there is no warming up, shivering sitting in a scalding hot bath – cooling off is easy – any store here is so cold you are instantly an ice cube, shade takes the edge off the sun, cold drinks, ice – lots of options. I understand to each their own, and what you consider extreme temps. In my world -40C + windchill is not uncommon, +30C plus humidity is also not uncommon.
YES! What Dexter says. Cooling off? much easier than warming up, and I can still think straight. If my teeth are chattering, I get sleepy and fidgety. Plus I really do love being warm. It doesn’t get too hot for my tolerance very often. Heck I’ve been drinking both hot and cold tea this summer, depending on my mood… usually not the weather :)
