I'd rather be too hot any day. I keep my room around 75 degrees when I can and still dress in long pants, a sweatshirt and sometimes a bathrobe. Nothing makes me more miserable than being cold.

You can always add more layer if it is frigid cold. You can only take so much off though to cool down..

-15F here... even though i thought my face was gonna fall off today.. i much rather have this then humid hot weather.

Like ski said.. cold = more layers... heat stripping off your clothing wont help in hot humid weather.

bikini greater than parka :)

Not if the girl is IN or ON the parka with you! You need to think of some more "creative" ways of keeping warm, man! :D

Geez tough call. I'd rather be cold than sweating to death. However at -40 I have to contend with snow and the roads get dangerous as many road ice melters don't work at -40.

That may be true, but no matter what you put on, you must still breathe that cold air. I voted for blistering heat. Drink lots of water and you should be ok.

But I live in TX, and grew up in Trinidad. I can't handle cold at all. I nearly died when it was 29°F and I tried sleeping in my car.

I'd say cold. Right now where I am its -16F with -42F wind chill its pretty damn cold Last night actual temp was -33 and wind chill was -45 or so... BUT I can sit in my house pretty comfortably as long as I have something on my feet. When its hot out the entire house is HOT and it sucks heat is the sucks.
