Only if you have enough energy. If you have energy to melt snow for water and crops, then you can do a lot of things in the desert too.Supercooled wrote: ↑Jul 7th, 2019 8:44 pmPersonally given a choicebibwiuldnprefer the south pole than the Sahara desert at least we still have snow to melt for water.

I am deathly afraid of humidity. It makes me feel like Im choking on my own muccus and my breathing become so laboured.
At the same time if it’s too cold I’ll get the sniffles and actually start having a runny nose. It’s just a no win situation for me. I’ve been told by a lot of people that I know the abrupt change from hot to cold triggers this for them. In the winter I can come in from outside into a warm apartment with no ill effects so go figure.

Heat and cold tolerance depends on what climate you are used to for long periods of time. In Australia, a high temperature of 10c is pretty cold for them because homes in Australia are not designed to keep heat in like in Canada. Their homes get cold and it becomes very difficult to be comfortable. In summer, their homes release heat and keep cool naturally. Opposite in Canada. That's why 30c in a Canadian home becomes very uncomfortable because our home designs are to keep heat in.
Also, if you are used to living in a desert climate like Arizona, your body naturally adjusts to the climate after a long time. The body adjusts. Just like 2 celsius high in Toronto can feel downright balmy after 2 weeks of polar vortex.
Doesn't mean 40c isn't dangerous for everyone, of course it is, but the body naturally adjusts as much as it can. You still have to stay hydrated and cool as much as you can. Same goes for winter, living in the arctic you still need your parka and gloves and thermo boots etc...but people in Canada's arctic because acclimitized to the cold in a way.
Toronto has all 4 seasons so it's difficult for our bodies to adjust because there isn't enough time to do it except maybe Winter because it's the longest season.

It's so nice today, literally had all my windows open and cool breeze coming in through. Feels like fall already. Although after tomorrow it's supposed to warm up again.

So what do you love about summer if not the weather outside?HghSsociety wrote: ↑Aug 9th, 2019 8:15 pmNope. I rarely have my windows open during summer months and I love summer. The cool breeze in the air today made it a perfect day to open all the windows and air out the house

It is beautiful. Opened my car windows as I drove and took an extra 40 minutes driving around feeling that wonderful cool breeze slapping me happily upon my face. Winter is coming!!!!!!
A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

The Perseids meteor shower peaks tonight which I'd love to see. However, I can't get out of the city on such short notice. Is there a spot in the GTA that I can get to by TTC where there is very little light pollution so I can see this annual celestial event?
