extreme temperature poll - Page 2

I'd hate to live in a cold climate, but in saying that, I think it's what you're brought up with which really affects how you feel about climate.

Having been brought up in northern Australia where the heat and humidity can be quite extreme, and it rarely gets below 20 degrees celcius during the day, even during winter, I have to say that I really don't enjoy the cracked and dry skin, sore red nose, lingering coughs and colds and frozen toes I've suffered during my few brief stints to colder climates.

Having said that, in my current condition, I'm not enjoying the heat so much and have been giving the aircon a bit of a work out.

Jimbo, what made you think the southern states were hotter?

W.HI.P · 11-28-2008, 05:10 PM

i've lived both extremes.
48 celcius..... it was like you were in a fan oven cause there was a lot of very hot wind... quite a few people died that day. it was hell

how about -60... i worked mostly outdoors that night, talk about a free face-lift.

even in death, heat is torture, while if you're to die from the cold, you'd sleep before your death making it quite peace-full.

i can't stand the heat, i love the cold

I'd go for the cold. I can cover up with clothing to stay warm, but even being naked won't help against the heat. Plus there is the added bonus of finding ways to stay warm with someone, if you know what I mean.

You mean desperation is easier to exploit in the cold?

sweetwater · 11-23-2008, 08:28 PM

I'll go to the same north where that young man was going, please.

For sex, I recommend hot climates.

The wife unit is from Maine. We loved it up there in the summer and spring. Absolutely beautiful. To bad winter is like 9 months out of the year. After being stationed in Hawaii for 3 years we vowed never to live where we would see snow again. Nice place to visit, never to live there.

HOTTER IS BETTER!!! Because then I can walk around the house naked 24/7... and outside too, with a fenced yard

lumberjim · 11-24-2008, 12:41 PM

you sure talk a good game, miss no pictures at all evar.

Treasenuak · 11-24-2008, 02:03 PM

Fine, but only if you promise not to laugh... -is a bit shy-

For the record Treasenuak (full name because I want to establich my sincerity) no-one on the Cellar has ever been laughed at for a genuine picture. And certainly not a nekkid one.

Cloud · 11-24-2008, 02:51 PM

cold. humidity bites.

Juniper · 11-24-2008, 02:53 PM

Hot. I'm with Treas -- the less clothes, the better.

I also tend to lose weight when it's hot and gain when it's cold. Not pretty at all.

Which reminds me -- time to build me a nice warm fire! Brrrrrr! What the hell am I doing in Ohio?
