I prefer the heat of summer to the cold of winter. I can do without the humidity though.

hot again, but not humid... yet. Tolerable.
I prefer a hot, dry heat, so today ain't bad. But I'll take a frigid winter day over a hot and humid day.

I sweated my guts out just clearing books off my daughters shelving unit. Way to hot and humid for me...and I miss winter desperately.

Yeah, I especially hate how my air conditioner can't keep it below 80 (or sometimes 82) on the really hot days! I wish I had the $$$ to invest in whatever changes need to be done to fix that.

below 80 degrees? Which part of SC are you in, CT? Thats nighttime weather over here in the peedee.
Years back when my wife and I were married about two years, the AC burnt up. I got it repaired and the house was tolerable. I blamed it on the little black sugar ants that like to find electrical connections and burn them out to save my wife being embarrassed. The real problem was that she was pregnant
The real reason was that she was about five months pregnant and she had the thermostat set at 52 degrees.
I personally don't get comfortable outside til it starts hitting high 80's to low 90's. And this is SC. We can swim in the air in mid summer, lol.

(I like all weather but the extremes are killer. When its hotter than 90 degrees, I'm not a fan at all.)

I live just outside of Charleston, Rick. I'm talking about the temperature inside the house! Outside 80 or 82 is like heaven, but inside it's like an oven. I like my internal temp around 75. We didn't know it at the time, but when we replaced our A/C unit, they put in one that can only cool up to 20 degrees cooler than it gets outside. So if we're knockin' around 100, then it's gonna get uncomfortable inside during the peak heat hours.
It's been worse the last coupla years because we had to cut down our HUGE tree that shaded the entire house after it was struck by lightning. It was shedding huge limbs as it slowly died and was putting our house in danger. That's exposed some inadequacies in our insulation and has compounded the problem with the A/C unit not being so powerful. I'm thinking the cheapest option may be to install a window unit in the great room where we spend most of our time where the heat is the most intolerable. I think it probably gets around 90 in that one room, personally.
Hopefully, that clarifies things a bit!

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

I used to run around in shorts in the middle of New England winters (back when it used to snow from Thanksgiving to Easter, not like these days, when it snows for like, five days, total, all 'winter' long), so I'm definitely a cold lover.
But, growing up between Arizona and Oklahoma, I'm also tolerant of a nice dry heat.
Muggy kills me. I like my water where it belongs, in the swimming hole, not in the air!
