Era, what type of weather do you hate more...hot or cold?

Cold. It's depressing as hell. Everything is dead looking. Snow, freezing rain, sleet, slush, freezing fog, the salt to combat it all. Thicker and heavier laundry loads. My hands and feet are constantly frozen. People get sick, fake sick, lie about "going into the ditch". Plus it's cold.
Hot summer days are no where near as common as cold, windy, days, so I like to treat them as a gift.

It's easy to get warm but very difficult to get cold...
screw hot weather i wanna live in an igloo

i feel like if 70 degrees F is the baseline for normal living conditions, i can deal with it being in the 40s with zero ill effect or change in my behavior, but as soon as it gets into the 80s i start getting mad at how hot it is and anything above that is basically death
so by pure math alone the cold wins, fuck heat and fuck the sun

Real cold snowy winter is beautiful. I mean look at this:
OT I don't mind either temperature, rain on the other hand

Slush is the absolute worst. Especially when you don't know it's there and then you are ankle deep in it and now your shoes and feet are wet for the day.
hot is better than cold
but......
very humid and high dew point (65 degrees+) are worse than freezing

Beautiful yes but I hate having to shovel it and walk on sidewalks that aren't shoveled.Real cold snowy winter is beautiful. I mean look at this:

Cold. You don't have to go out in +40 degree Celsius weather and shovel, or really do anything. When you live in Canada you gotta go out in -40 degree Celsius and shovel and push your stupid car out of the snow, and then push the next stuck car so you can move and then by then you have frozen to death from hypothermia. Why do you think homeless people live in warmer climates? Because you die in the cold. There are way too many negative aspects of -40 degree weather that just aren't even considerations in +40. People who are saying "hot" have never experienced true cold. I've been to Vegas in July, and Virginia in mid-August...I've experienced those +100 degree days, even camping for 4 days outside with no shade in +100 degree weather. You couldn't camp outside in -40 degrees. You would die. You would die in a matter of hours. I spent 4 days outside in extreme heat, and never died. Never got dehydrated. Never even got a sunburn because I covered up properly, stayed hydrated and wore sunscreen. There is no equivalent of that for extreme cold. Unless you've been to Saskatchewan in January...you don't know what you are talking about when you say you hate hot more.
Hot.
I am a winter baby through and through. It's my favourite season by a gigantic margin.
No bugs and sleeping is cozy on top of everything else. Hockey, Christmas, Snowboarding...Snowboarding, snowboarding.

I always welcome the cold.

Isn't there a point where you can't even differentiate between varying degrees of cold? Like year -40c is cold af but it would it feel much different than say -30c?
Yeah but then February comes along and punches you right in the dick
No you can tell the difference. Maybe between -40 and -50 it starts getting harder to differentiate, because it's just straight up too painful to be outside for any amount of time regardless, and we had quite a few -50 days this year too, but when you've had a week straight of -40 weather, those -30 days feel like a breath of fresh air.
As an Aussie definitely heat. We don't have cooling so it's hot! Our winters are mild. However from next year I'll be moving somewhere with severe winter so my opinion might change.

Yeah I remember reading about it but don't remember the exact number where it gets harder to differentiate between the degrees of cold. Either way, it's painful especially if you add windchill to the mix.
For some reason I've gone from having a huge tolerance for the cold. Sometime in my late twenties that all flipped. I absolutely hate the cold.
I hate both but I'd rather it be hot than cold, just find it the preferable type of discomfort.
Granted, I almost entirely prefer the opposite general feel of the season -- so when it's summer, I do love it cold inside; when it's winter, I love it to be toasty.
But, cold also brings along with it association with winter, and living in a place where it snows plentifully and regularly, I fucking HATE the snow now. I get the appeal to people who don't have to live with it, but goddamn rain is so much more refreshing and snow just feels like a goddamn annoyance when it's piled up. It makes walking harder, it makes driving harder, it's just bitterly cold. Fuck snow.
Rain just cools me off and generally tends to get the fuck out of the way when it's done.

Hate is a strong word.
I probably prefer cold weather. I can always put on a blanket if it's too cold. If it's too hot then there is not much I can do.
Nights in bed in the winter are fantastic compared to those in the summer.

Heat is the worst, and people that "love the heat" are insane maniacs that I will NEVER understand.
Hate the heat. I sweat very easily, we don't have any air cooling in our house and sleep is horrible. The cold is great. Feels good to stay home and I sleep much better. Plus I love hoodies.
It's very easy, if i'm cold in the winter i can bundle up and be fine! What can you do in extreme summer? And it doesn't help that i'm hot blooded so it's very RARE i'm ever cold as it is.
So yeah screw your HOTY weather all day every day.!!! 85 and below is great, anything over that naw!!

Cold weather is horrible, I can atleast enjoy the outdoors in hot weather, even if I'm a sweaty mess by the end of the day(nothing a cold shower can fix). In cold weather(meaning winter with snow), all I want to do is stay inside and looking outside just makes me feel depressed 😞
There is only so much you can do about heat. Living in the south can fucking suck. Cold weather can be dealt with almost completely
Immigrants coming to Canada acclimatize quickly. A family that has never seen a snowflake look miserable the first winter, but next year they fit right in.
