There isn’t a place on Earth that gets cold enough that you can’t put on enough clothing to make it surviveable for a few hours.
The human body is endothermic. It regulates it’s own temperature by burning energy to create heat, but it doesn’t have a mechanism to cool itself in a humid environment.
At high humidity, 95 degrees can be lethal to a hydrated, healthy adult.
Last summer we 45 consecutive days over 100 degrees in a very humid climate.
I’ve been outside bundled up in 0°. It was unpleasant.
I’ve been outside in as little as I could legally get away with in 110°.
No contest: I’ll take the cold.
I also prefer the cold myself, but you know it gets much colder than 0°F in lots of places right?
