A person’s baseline of cold and hot depends on where they grew up.

To me, NYC winters are not harsh at all, and we spend a lot of time outdoors with kids every winter day.

NYC summers, on the other hand, are uncomfortably hot, and we mostly go outside before 9:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. For that reason, I cannot imagine living in most places on the West Coast.
