Blech. I'm all full up on Northern/Eastern European ancestry, and do great in the heat and not very well in the cold, though it's getting better after many decades of midwestern us winters.Bob, that sounds heavenly. Really, it does.
Mike, I was thinking about my anthropology class I took and I wonder if your heritage is part of the reason you handle heat well but do not handle cooler temps well. We learned about the Inuit's and how they are genetically able to handle colder temps as well as some Asian cultures. Makes sense. I was born and raised in a cold climate but have moved to a warmer climate. Maybe we don't climitize as fast or completely as they say...
I guess I don't find the temp swings to be that much. Where I was born and raised the temp swings were huge and could happen over the course of a couple hours during the middle of the day. That was cold. You would be a frozen popsicle there Mike! Lol! I find the temps here in Oregon to be very moderate with the occasional extreme of high temps, like my wedding day 4 years ago of 103F. Our weather here typically doesn't drop more than 30 deg over night, which is really really mild. In Montana where I was born and raised you can see temp changes of over 60 deg just over night.here it's steadily getting colder but then suddenly some days are colder and then back to higher temps. with so much variation it's harder to acclimate.
Tristan, you're in Ohio right? Don't you all have pretty severe temperature swings between morning and evening too? When I was home in MT for vacation it would be 90 during the day and drop to mid 30's by morning. That's only 50 some degree change but that is pretty common. Here in Oregon we'll go from 90 during the day to 60 by morning.Yeah thats crazy. I thought 30º swing was pretty severe. Usualy around here is more like 20's.
Here in Minnesota we can get big temperature swings, but I think parts of Montana are unique for the range of change possible.Tristan, you're in Ohio right?

Mike, it was 53 at 4:45 this morning. Nope, no 40's here.Nick, i was about to say you aren't up early enough to see that it gets colder than that, at least right now. in the summer no. it's been around the 40's in the morning but in the 70-80's during the day. not quite close to that 60 D swing. i would've gotten out of there too.
