    Yeah summer is terrible, with how you have to put on five layers to stay cool in the sunshine and then go shovel out all the sunshine in your driveway and/or scrape all the sunshine off your car before you drive ten mph all the way to work while fellow commuters slip & slide all over the sunshine covered roads…

      wearing 5 layers to be warm is better than wearing 1 layer and still boiling alive and literally having your skin burn and still feel painful and like it’s cooking the next day while sitting in a pitch black room

        As my mom always said

        “If you’re cold you can put on more clothes, but you can only get so naked”

          I can’t have warm hands and usable dexterity in winter. Only in winter can I have painfully cold, numb hands and be sweaty at the same time.

          At least in summer my whole body agrees that it’s warm and my hands always work properly

          If it’s warm for a longer period you can aclimate and get used to it, if it’s cold for a long time you just die I guess

            you can acclimate to the cold and if it’s too cold again you can put in more layers if it’s too hot to acclimate to the heat you can’t do anything and going outside is dangerous and risks serious skin and eye damage

            HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Acclimate he says! Buddy, I’ve lived in SC since I was 11. Before that I was born and raised in MA. You will not see me outside during the summer down here. Still, after all these years(I’m 38). And if you do, I am not happy about it.

            There’s plenty of temperate locations, sounds like you just haven’t bothered to look. I live in one, but it’s in America so I wouldn’t suggest that to anyone not already here. I’m guessing further north in the uk or in Northern Ireland you would find plenty of temperate regions.

      It depends on where you live. In my case snow is a miracle at this point because of global warming
