I wear flannels under most everything and fleece jammy pants. I have been cold my whole life and I used to live in NE, in the summer it would get over 100 a lot in the summer and that was the only time I was ever happy. My brother was worst and still wore a leather jacket on those hot days if he had to step in the shade at all. We worked together in a greenhouse when we were early teens, very like 13 and 16, and loved the hot humid feeling that was when we felt our best. Unfortunately my husband's skin cannot tolerate dry hot weather and was having is hands bleeding from deep awful cracks so we moved to the coast (and mostly to find me a dr that would help me that was the worst i have ever been right when we moved here). The funny thing is though is that he is now a glass blower and works around insane heat all day. I think the humidity balances it out though because he only really has problems on the warmest days of summer and we only get a week spread out through the whole thing. I made us move inland 7 miles though and I'm much happier and can leave the house again, I was a prisoner stuck indoors until 2 years ago now that we live out of the breeze. Cold just kills me. I instantly freeze up and my muscles are so tight they feel like they are going to snap and burn horribly, my hands and feet go numb, i get a rash on the fronts of my legs that burns and itches, if it gets in my ears I puke from the wicked headache I have for over a day. Yeah I always look funny but the alternative is unbearable. LOL, it will be summer here and if I go to the beach at all ( most of the time I refuse) I am in a full length leather winter coat, earmuffs, hat, glove and scarf. I get some pretty strange looks, lol.
