-25 is pretty miserable.
It is. It’s also not a common temperature up north. They have way more 40 degree days than -25.

Yes.

Having lived in the frozen North during a couple of hard winters and I think the cold is far worse.
Miserable experience.

Wife is from the mountains of Utah. She prefers the heat of Dallas. Doubt she'd say the same about South Louisiana swamp weather, though.

You say this as you’ve lived in Louisiana your entire life and still haven’t adjusted
Give 95 degrees and 100% humidity everyday over anything under 60 during the day.

Few people shovel snow anymore. Even if you did, powder can be removed with a broom.
I can walk around in 20 degree weather and be comfortable. I cannot walk around in 100 degree weather and be comfortable.

It’s all about personal choice. I grew up in Louisiana. Have lived in tropical (west Africa), cold (Rocky Mountains), desert (Middle East) and now Northern Europe. I personally prefer to have 4 seasons, which includes a winter, over a predominately hot and especially a predominately hot and humid climate. It’s much easier to keep warm in winter than to cool off in a hot summer.

I grew up in La, and never adjusted.
I played sports, went through august two adays, ect. The last week I was there I suffered from heat exhaustion.

I could do 12 months of a Boise winter.

My folks have lived in SE Ohio for almost 10 years. They rarely get much snow and it doesn't get super cold there.
Growing up, we lived near Omaha, NE and regularly had plenty of snow and multiple weeks in a row below freezing with some periods in the negatives. I would take that back any day over July-August in the south.

How it starts
quote:
December 8 - 6:00 PM
It started to snow.
The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven.
It looked like a Grandma Moses Print.
So romantic we felt like newlyweds again.
I love snow!
December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape.
What a fantastic sight!
Can there be a lovelier place in the whole world?
Moving here was the best idea I've ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again.
I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again.
What a perfect life!
A month in
quote:
December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28
Warmed up to above -20.
Still snowed in.
My wife is driving me crazy!!!
December 29
10 more inches.
John says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in.
That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30
Roof caved in.
I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars.
The wife went home to her mother.
Nine more inches predicted.
December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house.
No more shoveling.
That's perfect.
These southerners who think they would love extreme cold and snow have no fricking clue.
Posted on 9/17/24 at 7:53 am to SaintlyTiger88
I just don't care for extremes of either. Give me fall and spring as my perfect weather climates.
As far preferring cold vs. hot, I tend to go with cold but living somewhere that we get more ice than snow can suck arse because then you're stuck not really being able to get out. With the heat, I can get out but I can't be outside in it for very long and when it gets hot here it also gets stupidly humid.

Here's an exercise for you, sleep outside in 30 degree weather all night without a blanket. Now do the same in 100 degree weather.
Posted on 9/17/24 at 8:00 am to SaintlyTiger88
i HATE the cold. I've done my 5 mile walks 4-5 times a week all summer. I enjoy sweating when i expect to sweat.

Youre not sleeping either way.
