Love the cold....

Is this abnormal?

Just thought I'd see if anyone else really likes to be what most people describe as cold? I'm happy to go out in tempreatures of -5 wearing no more than just a jumper when everyone else is wrapped up in coats & jackets.

However, I absolutely hate hot tempreatures, and anything about 25-30 causes me significant discomfort.

I've done a Google search on this and couldn't find much so just wondered what everyone else thought?

I like the cold! And yes there seem to be scant others that do..

The bite of a chill on your face as you scuttle about in frosty conditions, with the crunch of ice beneath you and the low whistle of arctic winds :smile:

And hot weather? Aye, what's the use of being boiled in your own skin?! So you can sweat and be generally uncomfortable.. No thanks!

Great to meet another like minded! >so glad I'mstill up finishing off my PS again haha<
I love cold weather. Below freezing is perfect. Anything that's warm enough for just a tshirt is too hot for me.

Bring on the winter!
i love the cold as well, HI FIVE!!!2I412IITIHIEA
Who cares everyone is different, I don't see the issue here.
Do whatever you like, there is no 'normal'

Yep, I like coldness. Living with other people who put the heating on (including my parents who keep our home at OAP nursing home temperature) too much irritates me somewhat.

And the sun shining on a perfectly blue sky first thing in the morning - love it its so invigorating.

But then i love the heat as well.

cold Wind and rain however im not too partial to
I hate the cold. This is mainly due to me having Raynaud's Phenomenon and if it's too cold, my hands and feet become extremely painful. However, I do like walking in the snow/cold wind but I can't stay out in it for too long...

I'm with silverbolt on this one. Those cold, perfect blue sky mornings are pretty hard to beat.

Hot or cold, it's all good. But I do hate icy winds freezing my ears until they're about to snap off. So I wear a hat, which probably makes me a wuss in some hardcore cold-lover eyes!

My friend has an optimum temperature about 10 degrees lower than me- even in the middle of winter she usually has her window open and is just wearing a t shirt, whereas I have the radiator on and a jumper! She rarely wears a coat either. I guess some people are just different.

the human body is far better adapted for cold conditions than hot conditions, so i don't think there is anything wrong with you! i would rather be too cold than too hot!
I love crisp winter mornings.

I'm absolutely the same; I tend to wrap up much less than others do in the cold, and I think that being cold helps me feel fresh and awake. However, I can't stand being even slightly too hot, except when the reason for being hot is direct sunlight rather than the temperature of the surroundings. Not sure why that is.

I hate cold weather but I'm prepared to go out there if it snows... don't notice so much then.

I'm the same. People complain about English weather but the summer is too damn long and stuffy.

Are you pale skinned, haired and eyed?
Join a circus, freak.
I love the cold and i think when it is combined with driving rain (virtually flooding places) i think it's awesome. I actually like those two bits of weather combined so much that i will go out and walk in it :p:
