Damn it got cold today. It was 67F hight with an overnight of 58F. Almost needed a jacket or sweater. Will definitely need one tonight (51F)
I'm in shorts and a tshirt right now. It's 40ish outside. I'm perfectly comfortable. If it was nearly 80 out I wouldn't step out the door for any reason. That's unbearably hot to me.
Dealing with snow is one of my great joys. I love to play in it...even love the work it makes for me. I wish we got considerably more of it than we do.
we all get acclimated to our environments. I don't leave the house when the temps below 50 unless I absolutely have to.

Meh, I'll go ride 50 miles on my bicycle in 95 degree weather. Sweating is good for you.

Different strokes for different folks. We only get a storm like this once every few years. It's not like I have to shovel a foot of snow out of my drive way every morning just to get to work. It's a one time thing, spend an hour shoveling the driveway then I'm done. That's really the only "yard work" that I have to do for about 4 months, that's kind of nice.
Heat stroke, however, is not, and I've had it too many times to take chances with my life.

That's the one thing I really do miss about warm temps. I love to go running on the hottest days of the year, I love sweating like crazy when I run, it just feels like I got that much more out of my run. Running in the cold kind of sucks.
It really is interesting to me how different people are. I won't run in heat...hell I try not to even walk in heat. But I LOVE running in the cold. Some of my fondest memories are running in the first snow of the year. I could always go further and faster the colder it got.
When you think about it, it's pretty awesome that our country covers so much latitude that people can find a climate to fit them. How much would it suck to live in a country the size of one state, where there was next to no weather or environmental differences?

Just nit picking, but I think the the latitude spanned by a country matters more. The easiest example I can think of is japan. Smaller than california, but has a cold north, seasonal center, and tropicalish south.

I bring two water bottles and stop to fill them up when needed. Just keep hydrated and you don't have a problem.
Not true at all. While dehydration is one common reason for heat stroke, it is entirely possible to be fully hydrated and still stroke out. Heat exhaustion, I believe, is linked directly to dehydration however.
Different bodies have different capabilities of dealing with heat. When someone is severely heat sensitive, like me, they can drop in 80 degree shade while hooked to a banana bag.
