I'd rather live in Minnesota in winter; you can always put more clothes on.
Yes. My philosophy on heat is that you can only get so naked.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

This. Ideally, my solution would be to move NYC up the coast closer to Maine or NH. As it is, I'll grumpily deal with the summers.

I don't think any of the Great Lakes would quite be enough.
Having lived in coastal states all my life, I would have thought that would be true, but my times visiting Chicago gave me a much different feeling -- that lake is HYUUUUUUGE, and it isn't even the largest of them.

My philosophy on cold is that no amount of clothing will mitigate certain factors, such as a cold nose, a cold face, stupid wind, and the fact that it's fucking cold.
I live in the South for a reason.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm with Dana. Except for the geography. In the summer there's long days and SUNSHINE! But it's a personal thing; I'm way more uncomfortable at 10 degrees Fahrenheit than 110 degrees.

Yeah, I'm not allowed to move any further north. I'd lose what is left of my mind.

In the summer, in northern climes, the days are even longer.
Things I like about summer:
- lack of itchy wool issue
- skirts with no tights
- one does get tired of one's sweaters
- popsicles
- open windows/crickets/gardening/actually wanting to be outside
- gas bill goes way down
Things I hate about summer:
- shaving
- I only own 2 pair of shoes that don't require socks, and it's too hot for socks
- sweating
- heat-insomnia
- heat-induced inability to eat anything of substance
- smoggy ozone taste to the air
- B.O. among the people with whom I am trapped on public transit
On the whole, I would like it to be autumn most of the year.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The thing about the north seems to be, however, that it is BOTH really hot and really cold. Every time a student from California stays for the summer, they are so surprised at how hot it is.
I think I need to move to Alaska.
Also, why are they turning our air conditioners off at work? They say that "because of the heat we have been asked to turn the air conditioners off". I think maybe it is more because of the lack of electricity.

Go far enough north, though, and you have long days that are also much less hot. Or are near a lake. Everybody wins!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I do love how they are simultaneously like "STAY INSIDE WHERE IT'S COOL!" and "BUT DON'T RUN YOUR A/C IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY!!" @@ This is why I'm glad to be at work.
Also, I think my new boss loves me, never a bad thing.
