    I would take extreme heat easily over extreme cold...except when I am sitting on a food source :)

    Much rather be stuck in the Arctic than stuck in the desert!

    We had a baby boom here in the northern states because of the extreme cold last year.

    I can have a lot more fun getting warm than trying to cool down:nana:

    I'm the opposite. I've passed out, thrown up, and gotten migraines from heat. Hot at night? I can't sleep.

    I don't know. When it's cold in my house, seems like my wife wants to hibernate :sad:

    I guess you have not learned the proper warmup routine for cold weather wives;)

    What are we setting as the standard for extreme hear or cold? Sedentary, I'd rather be in extreme heat. Active I'd rather be in extreme cold.

    Like many have already said depends on what I'm doin. If I'm working then extreme heat, doin what I so for a living sucks having alot of cloths on. Heat doesn't bother me all that much, can always take a break and cool down in some shade. Sweating also doesn't bother me I wear jeans and a t shirt year round, can't even remember last time wore shorts outside for more than 10 mins.

    In the winter I'd take extreme heat over cold.

    In the summer I'd rather have exteme cold rather than heat.

    I'm only happy with the weather in October.

    Above 75 is too hot, single digits with a windchill is too cold. I've never been driven outta the stand by heat, I just make sure I have lots of water with me. On the other hand, I tried to sit last December when it was 5 degrees with a 30 mph north wind. I put on everything I had, but my hands and feet froze out after a couple hours even with warmers on.

    I'm going to ***** and moan either way but I prefer to complain about cold.

    Heat and humidity kicks my butt way worse than cold.

    If it's extrememly cold out (sub zero) I'm not doing anything outside I don't absolutely have to do. But extreme heat (above 90) during the summer doesn't bother me much. I work in an office and like to enjoy the lake on weekends. I certainly want colder than average temps when I'm deer hunting...but not extreme to the point that I can't keep myself warm all day.

    Heat is worse than cold. I can always find a way to stay warm. No one wants to see me take off enough clothing to stay cool.
