The worst thing about heat is that you can only take off so much- everything takes longer to do because we turn sluggish, conversely, in the cold, you can only put so much on, everything takes longer because its all covered in snow thusly prolonging the agony of exposure to bitter cold.
I guess the only hapy medium is as Rob has suggested; 21c year round.

I was sightseeing in the Turkish side of the UN line in Nicosia, Cypress. An old turk made conversation with us, and laughed about how hot we looked at +40. When we explained that we occasionally got that hot in Manitoba, but also reached -40, he no longer laughed at us.
He also bragged about being a millionaire. It was not until afterwards that we realized that the turkish Lira was in such bad shape that a million of them was worth about $1100. So I guess we were multi millionaires. Moral of the story is, the Turks have nothing over us. That said however, they were very disciplined soldiers who did not play games. Even at those 40° temps, they still wore the old wool battledress with the top button done up.
