Every time I run into someone who moved here from Florida or Arizona, they whine about our cold weather. And, it's not like Southern Ohio is the Arctic either. We get a few days a year where T falls below zero, and countless bunches of them through winter where it's somewhere in the 40's. Hell, most years we don't even have ice on the ponds.
But, with all the whining I hear about cold, be it from locals who wish they were in Bermuda or transplants who just wish they were back home, I almost never hear anyone bitch about unbearable heat. If you ask me, this is much worse than 20 below.

Anyone know why cold seems to make grown men cry while heat just locks them happily away in an air conditioned room?
