the body acclimatizes. I've lived in a variety of climates (Raised in Austin, TX...... lived in eastern Saudi Arabia for 7 years........ lived at 10,300 feet elevation in Colorado for 2 years ....... lived in Calgary, Alberta for 1 year) and was outdoors year round in each place. After the initial acclimatization, each place became quite livable.

I'm lucky now, because the Salt Lake Valley has 4 long seasons - hot dry summers, spectacular chilly autumn and spring, and moderately cold winters with somewhat frequent snow. I have mini-acclimatizations throughout the year.

I must say, though, that I can deal with the cold far easier than with heat and humidity (in combination).
