When it gets too cold I can always put more clothes on but when it gets too hot I don't feel good. Sometimes I get a head ache or nauseous from the heat. At best I'm lethargic. I'll take 3 months of winter over year round heat any day. Come on 6 six weeks.

I much prefer cooler to warmer also. I feel better in cooler weather, and my electricity bill is lower because it costs me less to heat than to cool.

I heat with natural gas which is even cheaper than using electricity. That alone probably saves me $300 or more per year. When the furnace runs it's only for a few minutes at a time but when I turn on my 2 window air conditioners they run a lot more, sometimes all day. That sure drive up the electric bill.

I am with Frank. It is all I can do to not melt through our 6 weeks of Summer here, and the humidity is really low too. Over 70 and I am done, in hibernation, on an ice block.  It was a nice -9 this morning, but has warmed up to 15 now. Sad thing is our snow really got going at least a month late, was a big wham that looked good, then petered out.  We are only at 70% or so of normal.  Not good for all you downstream folks, or us for that matter.   Only six weeks??  Not unusual for an early June snow here. :D

I have always preferred winter to summer...fall being my favorite season.

But as I age, I am finding I do like it warmer than previously. 

I now set the thermostat during the winter to 57 rather than 52 as I used to do.

My Arizona-residing-kid-sister pointed out the same thing. 

If you're too cold, you can always add a sweater or a pair of gloves.  But if you're too hot, once you take off the make-up and jewelry there's not much else to do.

Still, I'll go for too hot over too cold any day.  I don't wear make-up and not much jewelry.  But a cold brew can certainly help make life tolerable.
