Been here eight years and can't stand it when it gets below 75.
A few years ago I had a Fairbanks layover followed by a Ft. Lauderdale layover. In FAI the temp was 40 and people were out in shorts and T-Shirt. Couple days later I’m in FLL and eating outside at a touristy ocean restaurant. I’m in short sleeves. The waitress said “aren’t you cold” I said it’s 70 degs and she said “I know, it’s freezing.”

It’s amazing we live in a country that is so vast the temp difference from one end to the other is huge. I think my record is Nome, AK at -55degs to be followed 24 hours later with a Palm Springs layover at 85degs. Not many countries have 140 deg temp spread.
