humid heat and dry heat are very different animals.
110 in the shade in AZ feels cooler than 80 in MO.

They said on the Weather Channel that heat kills more people than all other
weather events combined, including cold, tornados, hurricanes, everything put
together. I hate both extremes but I think I hate extreme heat worse. It's
so limiting. In extreme cold one can bundle up and do something outside,
but in extreme heat what can you do? I kind of pride myself on (probably
stupidly) having done the lawn when it was in the 90's in the shade and humid.
It's almost like a challenge, but it's also a great way to become dangerously
overheated. I figure I can handle it but I think I'll wait until late in the
day from now on. I can't see how anybody could live in Florida, but Florida
and Arizona are the fastest growing states I think. People love heat. It
give them an excuse to sit in the a/c.

And you people live these places on purpose?! I become stultified,
paralyzed, immobile, can't think, walking in a fog with lead feet, when it is
cold
(read below 60 degrees F). Cold pushes me into hibernation mode. My husband?
Warmth does not, incredibly, bring him to life, energize him. It makes him
sleepy. Stupefies him. He becomes nearly comatose. Exactly as the
frozen-in-cold does me. We talked today about whether genetic
pre-dispositions are
to blame. Considering that my parents came from rather cold locations, that
my Mother suffered from heat stroke in AZ, that my brothers both adore the
cold and come alive in it, I'm doubting that. The fact that I spent the first
6
years of my life in Phoenix, Arizona, and my husband spent the first 6 years
of his life in Minnesota ..... I'm guessing formative years trump genetic
markers. Anyone else?

About -35 in Chicago. I can vouch for it at least 40 years ago. And
that was mini-skirt time.
