Hi Massachusetts Neighbor,
I am from Connecticut (whoah, way south & tropical). Humans, people, us, you & me are way adaptable. For example: think about in the fall, the colder temps after the summer temps make us shiver & want to put the heat on, along with sweaters & long pants. But those exact same temps in the spring are like: Whoo Hoo shorts & tees. It is a matter of what you are used to. So in your example you are sweating (& rightly so) at 77 degrees after getting used to 32 degrees (& lower outside). 68 is way too warm for me in a 2 level house. If you are still in Mass right now, go outside & remember what this exact same temperature felt like in October.
Regards,
