    What different people can handle is wild. I mowed yesterday through 98° weather. It was miserably fucking hot, but I wasn’t impaired.

    However, when it’s slightly below freezing and we get half an inch of snow? Everything shuts down for a week and no one can function.

      Yeah and I thrive below freezing lol. My mood improves, I have more energy, I get very excited and active, bonus points if it has been overcast for months I love that shit. Honestly I think I have SAD the opposite direction of most people

        I have a problem with the cold. Mainly that I never know how much I need to wear.

        Like a good Northerner, I layer my clothes, and if I wear too many, I end up sweating. It’s terrible to have a sweaty body while my hands, feet, and face freeze. If I wear too few clothes, then I’m just cold all over.

        I can’t seem to regulate adequately. I’m always either too hot or too cold.

        If it’s hot out, then I’m just hot all over. It seems worse, but it’s actually much easier to cope with.

        I just want to be a consistent temperature.

        Cool weather, like between freezing and like 20C/68F, I’m pretty golden. On the low end, a light jacket with a sweater, and on the higher end, just a light sweater or something and I’m fine. Anything below zero… I’m generally uncomfortable.
