    I keep it cold in the house, too. Real cold. I don't like sitting around being hot. But put me outside actually DOING something and I'm ok.

    Let me assure you power failures in cold weather suck just as much or more than do failures in hot weather. Two words: frozen pipes.

    People look forward to the first day of Sundress/bikini season on campuses all over the country. No one looks forward to Parka season.

    I lean towards cold since the kind of people who shouldn't wear skimpy clothing or go shirtless are the first ones to do so.

    I will say this - having grown up in a place that has no real extremes at either end, I'll take both over neither. :)

    Haven't even turned my AC on yet.

    65 is about where I keep it in the winter.

    This has been the best argument I've seen on this board.

    I got my first 150+ bill last month. But I think that was because my a/c was broken but people kept it running in case it started, and even turned it down 10 degrees.

    My dad makes me mad.

    I'll take 110 at the beach over -40 and covering up your face to go from the front door to the car because you're worried about frost bite in those 15 seconds.

    Yup. And since I live in both a college town and a beach town, I'm taking heat.
