Definitely the cold. You can always put on a sweater. ---

Oh, I hates them both. ---

As much as I hate the cold - and I hate, hate, hate the cold - I’m also prone to heat exhaustion so I chose the polar vortex. And really, it’s the devil I’m used to. ---

I lived in Kuwait and Iraq. I can definitely take the heat better than the cold. ---

When I moved to Australia from NZ I did so with the anticipation of finally having a warm summer for a change, and the winters being much milder. And for the first 15 years that was the case, it has been predictably pleasant for most of the year, with the occasional cold month and the occasional excessively hot month. This has changed. In the last five years it has been an unpredictable year with extremes at levels I have never felt before, and it’s really been unpleasantly uncomfortable for longer periods. For the first time I am tempted to look towards returning to New Zealand where Climate Change has apparently made the winters more mild and the summers warmer, just like Australia used to be. It’s a bittersweet change, but also still unpredictable, so I still hesitate. ---

Australia. There’s no such thing as “too hot.” ---

> [@Two\_Many\_Cats](#): > > In polar temperatures, such as we in Chicago just experienced, you have to watch out for freezing, frostbite, slipping on ice, traffic on ice, etc. Agreed. I’m in Indiana, and the ice has been worse than the temperature or wind. My idea of Hell would include having to walk a dog year-round on slippery pavement that features jagged chunks of ice hardened to the toe-stubbing potential of rocks.
