I prefer very hot weather, mainly because living in PA, I don't get much, there are plenty of air conditioned places, and it's the weather for swimming, and other good stuff. However, cold does have it's good parts.

Definitely cold from these two 100F is allmost 38C which is just way too hot to take constantly and 30F (-1C) isnt even that cold you wont even need gloves/hat or thick clothes a normal jacket and jeans will do.

Cold. You can always put on another layer of clothing.

I can fight the cold with a sweater and a hip flask. What am I supposed to do if I'm working outside in the middle of the blazing summer heat besides suffer?

Extream cold. Even when its well below zero I've been fine with shorts on indoors. When its over 100 the air conditioning simply can't keep up.

definatly hot weather.

I hate cold weather, you have to poke me often with a very sharp object to get me out of my bed in the winter, and when I'm outside I have tears in my eyes all the time from the cold.

I'm not really someone who can sit in the sun all day long, because I get sunburn fairly easy, but heat in the shade doesn't bother my, and I love doing water sports like swimming and wind surfing and you just can't do that when everything is frozen :)

I live in Texas.

Houston, to be exact.

I have to check the map at least six times every summer to make sure the state hasn't skipped over to the equator.

In the winter, it can still get up to 75-plus degrees.

I WANT COLD, DAMMIT!! :evil:

You can't just put another layer of clothing when living at 90%-99% humidity. The cold simply penetrates anything you wear, and even your skin and muscles into your bones.

Hmmm, well, if I could have hot with the addition of a pleasant tropical/greek locale, crystal clear sea, fish and some decent restaurants and I'm there forever.

However, more realistically, give me cold snowy or rough weather, a house by the sea with a roaring fire and a supply of books/videos and good food, and some good company, and I'm sorted.

*votes for heat on the principle that, hey, in England, hot sunny weather is a rarity to be enjoyed*

<-- dislikes humidity.

I don't like the cold as much because it also tends to bring more humid things with it. I much like the heat because it's dryer and easier on my lungs.
