Right now there is a terrible heat wave in the northeastern US. Temperatures of up to 104 F (30 C). In winter it can get to -2 F (-19 C). Plus, of course, there is humidity to make it feel hotter in summer, and wind chill to make it feel colder in wihter. I like that we have varied seasons here, and the extremes are not as bad as in other places, even in the US. I have friends in Arizona, and Minnesota, and they really get hit!
Which do you like least? I think on balance I like the heat less. You can always get under the covers in the cold, but you can't do much if it's too hot. As I age I like the cold less and less, though. And at least there's no snow to shovel, or ice to fall on! I need more insulation for my drafty old house!
Any comments? Thanks.
