Hot or Cold?

Would I rather extremely really hot weather or extremely cold weather?

I prefer hot weather although the exact reason is a little hard to justify. I suppose it's partly because hot weather doesn't frost bite so that it's actually painful to be outside.

Sometimes, I hear people justifying cold weather on the grounds that you can always put more clothes on in cold weather, but you can only take so much off in hot weather. I don't know about that argument. I guess one reason it doesn't work for me is that I've never heard of anyone bundling up in freezing weather to the point that they were actually comfortable. On some level, it seems like the hot weather gives you less to worry about because there isn't as much you can do about it. In cold, you worry about putting on enough clothes. In heat, you just go outside and do your best. It's like a burden has been lifted.
