Worst Month of the Year in Kansas? NOW ALLOWS YOU TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE

[Mrs. Gooch]

I'd rather be hot than cold. (P.S. I am always cold when other people are comfortable.)

[DQ12]

Also, as a fellow Kansan ex-pat, I enjoy the big-city Chicagoans looking down their nose at the little friends they left behind.

I've lived in KC since last July fwiw.

Yeah, walking half a mile to the train in July is worse than in February

no fuckin way. Maybe in Phoenix but not Chicago or Kansas

Yeah.  Not even close.  Heat is uncomfortable and sucks because you get a little sweaty sometimes, but being outside in those deep windchills is just absolutely unbearable.  Just brutal - almost painful.  Plus, guess what, hope you don't like sunlight because it's dark outside almost all the time.

All the proof I need is that even in the dog days of summer, there are outside activities that normal people engage in: Cookouts, little league games, patio drinking, etc.  In the coldest days of winter, only an insane person would have a cookout.  Game, set, checkmate.

I think it depends on whether you are dressed for work or not. I hate sweating into my work clothes.

[steve dave]

it doesn't get hot enough outside to make me rather be cold. what on earth is the matter with you people?

[steve dave]

"oh no, it's too hot to go outside!" imagine what you sound like if you say something like that.

meanwhile, "it's too cold to go outside!" is just a common sense survival thing.

[pissclams]

I wonder what it’s like to walk a half mile to the train in antarctica.  is it worse than the big city of chicago walk?
who knows...? hopefully james cook drops by to let us know

Every time this comes up I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of weirdo shut-ins.   

Like, I understand that sometimes it gets really hot outside and can be uncomfortable.  But man, that's just great swimming pool weather.  Go out and get some ice cream! Maybe schedule a weekend at the lake! 

When it's insanely cold outside, it's not great anything weather.  Stay indoors.  Cancel school.

Tell that to the 96 Americans the heat killed last year, steve dave.

[Institutional Control]

Has anyone ever gotten the flu in July or August?

I bet not.

[star seed 7]

I don't outside leisure unless it's between 50 and 80, otherwise just not worth it

[mocat]

if it's 0 degrees outside you can always add more layers.
if it's 100 degrees outside there are only so many clothes you can take off and you will still be disgustingly hot.

[mocat]

dlew, what is the perfect walking temperature? like 65? does that happen more often in august, or october?

[star seed 7]

I guarantee dlew has a ski parka on at 65

[wetwillie]

He's doing what he does in like every thread guys, he loves hoodie weather as much as we do

[DQ12]

I'd rather it be 90 degrees outside than 60.

[mocat]

I'd rather it be 90 degrees outside than 60.

for walking to the train? no you wouldn't. don't be disingenuous.
for smashing coors lights at UC pool? well yeah

Oh we were talking walking to the train?  Yeah probably mid 70s.

A) walking somewhere
B) being in a pool

I spend more time walking than being in a pool.

[michigancat]

so like in winter do you fools put on ski pants every day?

And like if it's 90 degress and you're glowing a bit, find some rough ridin' shade and you're just fine.

[420seriouscat69]

My family on the mens side have a really bad sweating problem. It's embarrassing showing off sweaty pits  when out on the golf course and/or at a family bbq.

[Cartierfor3]

I don't own ski pants. I wear jeans and am fine.

[Cartierfor3]

And I find it weird that February is worse to some of you than January if cold is the issue. Its colder in January. Last Feb in KC there was a day where we got to 80.

[Cartierfor3]

I find the older I get though the more I appreciate the rhythm of the seasons. Its good for my soul. I wouldn't like to live in like Miami or something. Too much sameness.

[sys]

this is now the stupidest thing anyone has ever said.
