There are advantages and disadvantages of both hot and cold weather. If it is cold, you can wear more clothing, or even burn some wood (hey, the stuff grows on trees!). But imagine getting several inches of snow, once a week, that you absolutely MUST move off any surfaces you might need (driveway, sidewalk, street). And if you do not move it, that surface cannot be used until March or so. Look up "Sisyphus".
Hot feels nice sometimes, but 120 in the shade is brutal, I don't care if there's no humidity. When your shoe soles start to melt, you are in trouble. When it is real hot, you can remove clothes only to a certain point, and then what?
(I wonder: Do they close schools because it is too hot?)
They improvised. They overcame. They persevered. And they succeeded. ... I cannot remember being more proud of a group of students with which I have been associated. - dlavery [more]
