Who here likes the cold more? My favorite seasons are fall and spring, but, between summer and winter, I like winter much more. In the winter my house is what other people think is a bone-chilling 50 degree Fahrenheit. To me, cold feels nice on the face, whereas being in the sunlight in the mid-afternoon in the summer is uncomfortable, especially due to the necessity of sunscreen. That said, summer up north, where it's not as humid as the south, are much more tolerable.

I think the same as you, OP, except I like to keep my house at 68-72 degrees. But, I shut the vent in my bedroom and keep the temp at 67. I also have the humidifier running so it feels more natural, and warm

To be honest, at that point, heat becomes more tolerable. -90F isn't just cold, it's ****ing cold. 140 and humid is sauna temp.

Unless you are in a heated cocoon, you won't last very long in extreme cold.

I have, there is something soul-cleaning about that sort of cold.
