    I get the best and worse of all the seasons. It's really nice in the early spring/late fall. But that's only about a couple of days. I'll take extreme over extreme heat any day. Because you can always put clothes on, but after awhile you can't take anymore off. Also there's humidity which makes everything worse and sticky. Don't have to worry about that with the cold.

    As long as I have the right clothes, I'm fine with the cold. I love it!

    I cannot wear appropriate summer clothes though lol so I just wind up being too hot and very huffy :[ I do love burning myself by spending too much time in a swimming pool on a really really hot day though.

Everyone else huddled for cover where they could find it but I toughed it out by the road.

    Then there was the time I biked to Taekwondo in weather above 40C with humidity. Now I usually have no problem just taking the weather and not complaining about it, but I will admit that that nearly killed me.
    Don't they normally cancel school buses when it is -40C? I know my end of the province did.

    There is no temperature range for which I am unable to handle, as long as I have my jeans and a hoodie.

    I can cope well with both hot and cold weather. But, no matter what the weather's like, I will complain. I can never be happy.

    It's been over 100 degrees fahrenheit for the last week.

    I live in Florida and I hate the weather here.

    If the temperature isn't between 75F and 82F, I cry.

    I can deal with cold weather, though I prefer it to be 60-70. I can deal with heat when I'm outside and active, but inside I need AC. I really hate humidity, though, which makes east coast summers rather horrific. I miss dry Colorado summers.

    Degrees means little where I'm from, it's that damned wind and rainy wet sludge that messes everything up and makes things freezing cold even at 0C. I deal better with extreme cold than extreme heat, but I prefer sunny weathers.

    They were supposed to cancel school in my district if the temperature hit -50C as far as I know. Obviously someone either wasn't on the ball or didn't take wind chill into account when they checked the weather that morning. I will whole heartedly admit that even though I toughed it out, it was with a great deal of pain and wishing that they had canceled school. Making anyone wait for a bus in those temperatures is literally inhuman.

    I was fine with the cold while I was at the snow. -5C no worries. But anything under like 10C up here and I can't handle it. The heat is fine, I can cope in 45C weather pretty well. I've had to compete in 42C weather once, that was pretty tough.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Samesies... wind at home can take moderate cold to being "OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS BITING CHILL THAT IS STEALING MY SOUL". Windchill haet.

    What Allie said about ideal temperature is basically my thoughts. Cool but not freezing at night and warm but not hot at day just makes everything all-around pleasant :3

    I can survive in -40 to 40 celsius if needs be, and I have before.. With the right clothing.

    How much can I bear without crying?! Probably those extremes.
