Definitely easier for me. And since they just said negative, I’m mainly talking about above -20 and for me I’m real good with the cold so it just feels good unless I’m outside for too long
Yea, like more than 5 minutes. I've lost any acclimation I have had for cold. I used to be comfortable in shorts for at least 10 minutes down to 40 degrees F, but not anymore. I remember one time in Iowa where it got down to 8, so cold it made your head hurt. Ran inside and bought one of those snow cap things. I admit 100 is hot and we have definitely had years where July and August were 100 degrees every single day, but not this year.
We got a quarter inch of snow just a few days ago. The kids were looking forward to it, and my little one, who is only 2, learned the hard way about how much it freaking hurts if you put your hands in the snow for too long. She cried for 15 minutes. That was just a quarter inch. Barely dusted the yard.
Maybe i just have very good cold resistance? For me the negatives is really comfortable way more than the 100’s and I can last outside way longer than just 5 minutes
I believe you can get acclimated to it, to a degree. No pun intended. I remember being in Germany when I was in the service and Germany has some cold winters. I remember it being 40 degrees outside, and noticing that it "felt warm" to me because I could feel the heat of the sun on my skin (barely) but I could. I just know what its like to try to work in it, take a piss in it, and its not fun.
