First mf i’ve ever seen that ENJOYS high humidity, ong how
They're prob one of those people who refuses to get a good coat. Classic Southerner behavior, tbh. We hardly ever have a true need for good winter clothes down here, so most people don't know how to layer properly to stay warm, so they think people living in colder climates are just freezing all the time. Because of barely having any inclimate winter weather, too, we don't invest in much infrastructure to keep our streets clear of ice/snow, so the roads are always terrible after snow storms. People generally won't shovel their walkways, either (even people who usually carefully tend their yards in other seasons!)
This leads to most people having a skewed perception of winter around here lmao
I mean where I'm from we do tend to just stay home for the 18 hours of snow on the ground we get a year, because it's way cheaper than keeping snow plows from rusting 364.3 days out of the year.
I'm not saying it doesn't make sense monetarily, I'm saying it leads to an altered perception by people who don't think too hard about it in regards to how other regions live during winter
I've also seen at least one European refer to most of North America and our summer temperatures "uninhabitable."
Honestly, looking at our forecast predicting a 104 degree week ahead (and this year has been mild so far, lol), I'd agree
Not exactly. I live in a region with 4 seasons, hot summers and cold winters, yet when I go on vacation anywhere with 100°F/35°C and +80% humidity it just doesn’t get to me. I can walk for hours in that heat without collapsing. My only problem is that I love sleeping cold, like 40°F/10°C cold bedroom.
