do you prefer hot weather or cold weather, and why do prefer it?

Cold weather. Fighting through the cold to get to being warm is so much more tolerable than fighting through the heat to get to being cool. And yeah, a lot more feasible in most situations to bundle up than to remove layers. Of course, I live in a desert so I savor the 30-90 days of tolerable weather before dealing with the Long Summer again. The heat is like stepping into a convection oven sometimes. The wind just feels like a heater blowing in your face. Staying cool is expensive to do well with an A/C, and evaporative cooling doesnt always work well. Meanwhile, blankets are cheap.
