    Short answer: We handle the cold better than others because we like not getting fucking heatstrokes and sunburns.

      I agree. Although even fall is too warm for my liking (except for very late fall like Thanksgiving, that's often a fun time of year). I love winter and wish I could experience some real cold someday, like -70 or colder.

    I'm _originally_ from Massachusetts _but currently live in Pennsylvania_ and I handle the cold better than anyone I know. It's weird because I'm model-thin and people would expect me to get cold easily due to my physique but I don't know if I've ever truly been cold. I can comfortably walk around in -5 degree weather wearing just a sleeveless dress, flats, and a cute scarf. I did so today and was totally comfortable. People stared at me in shock asking if I was cold and I said "no", I was perfectly comfortable. I was told it seemed impossible that I wasn't shivering because my outfit looked like a summer outfit (or at least late spring/early fall with the scarf). I do have limits, though. If it gets much colder than about -10, I need to grab a coat or hat, colder than about -15 and I need both and gloves, colder than about -20 and that's when I need to start layering. I don't understand why I'm so cold tolerant but I love it. I also produce a lot of heat. Nicknames for me are "space heater Sally" and "snow princess Sally". I love winter and it's obviously my favorite season. Walking around in cold temperatures smiling the whole time, not even needing a coat unless it gets cold.
    EDIT: I said "I live in Massachusetts" on instinct. I'll adjust over time to saying "I live in Pennsylvania". I lived in Massachusetts my whole life until last year. Give me some time, I'll adjust to saying "I live in Pennsylvania".

      @@Jack-wh4zm I should have clarified. I was originally from Massachusetts but moved to Pennsylvania last year. I just instinctively say "I'm from Massachusetts" still. Old habit. Don't worry, I'll correct it over time. I even remember chatting with my aunt on the phone on Christmas Eve and you're right that it never got down to 0 there, in fact I think it only got down to 13 in the town I grew up in.

      I’m from a cold climate but I adapt to heat fast for some reason, it was in the 70s a little bit ago (the first wave of temps of 70s this year where I live) but then it got cold again and now temps below 60 feel uncomfortable to me even if there is sun, I wear multiple layers in the morning when it’s in the 30s or below freezing because it feels uncomfortable cold if I don’t and I still feel a breeze even with the layers. I hate when fall comes I always get sick in the beginning of fall, every single year. Today felt more like October rather than April and the high was about 56 degrees though I also have a cold so that’s another reason it’s been feeling like fall, summer is the only time I don’t get sick, I can’t wait for summer to finally come.

    I am okay in very cold temperature and I am okay in a very hot. In freezing temperature on the beach sometimes walking with no shoes and nothing on the top. But it happens that sometimes I feel some cold so I wear something warmer and it gets too hot for me. In the summertime hottest days ever I close the windows in the car, put the heat all the way up and drive for about an hour or so to some destination. Usually I was doing that in old car because the interior almost was melting from the heat, and the tremendously high temperature didn't bother me. Most of the time I didn't even sweat. Some time ago I had no sheetrock, no insulation no heat in my house so I was always hitting pipes by the torch, because pipes were frozen and in 15 degree temperature, sometimes a little lower or higher, I was taking a bath everyday, and as I recall I was talking to peoples on the phone about 15 degree temperature and I was walking insight for hours not dressed with wet hair wet head and I never coughed and I never sneezed. But in my family not everybody okay with cold or with heat.
