When it hits 80, you are passing out in the streets.
Meanwhile, people on the Mid-Atlantic coast are out sunning on the beach in 96F with 90% humidity all freaking day with a bottle of water and a pack of nabs.
So, yes, after moving up here I freeze to death every winter. (Although not as much as when we first got here. So much for climate change being a hoax, eh?)
But, now that it is normal for summer days to be in the 90s around here, I spend the summer laughing as I walk down the street wearing jeans while the locals are in shorts and only going outside in order to get the mail.
(Hell, one person I know doesn't even go outside if he doesn't want to. He gets into his car in the garage, drives to his work garage which is under his building, gets out and goes into the building. That building has a few restaurants and a bodega so he literally doesn't have to leave it all day. Then, back into the car and back to his home garage. Never sets foot outside. That thought makes my skin crawl, to be honest.)
