Wow people are so different. I grew up in Florida, without air conditioning until I was 25. 85F is so nice outside in the shade, and 80 in the sun is fine for working outdoors. In the shade, with a fan going, and something to drink, I am comfortable to mid-90s at least, just not moving so much, relaxing. Hot yoga at 103 is sweaty but not dangerous for me.
There are not enough clothes in the world to make me comfortable at 0 F, there is not gear for that, I don’t generate that much internal heat.
yeah, it’s kinda funny. comfortable begins at… 65? ends at 90. Then it’s Hat Season!tm and i can get another 15 degrees of comfort before appropriate clothes and good water bottles aren’t enough. On the other end, 65 begins layering weather, 40s bring sweater weather and scarf weather, and the 30s end comfortable with clothing. I could probably go lower, but you can’t get that kind of clothing here.
i guess my point is humans are remarkably adaptable creatures.

Yeah, it really depends on who you are and what you’re used to. I can even tell that I have gotten slightly better at handling hot weather, after we have started feeling the effects of climate change, and our summers have gotten warmer.
Here in Denmark we generally have very mild weather, but it is definitely on the cooler side. Half of the year it is between 0-15C and raining, and if you spend a lot of time outdoors the moisture will slowly start to seep through your clothes, especially if you’re like me, too lazy to put on a proper waterproof layer. Compared to that, proper snow and frost is great. It’s bright and pretty, there’s almost no moisture in the air and there’s a bunch of fun stuff you can do.
