I totally feel you, especially on sunny days. I live directly under the roof, a black roof, heading south, also 2 big windows heading south … on a winters day its possible to go from hoodie+t+shirt+undershirt to just undershirt – and back within 12 hours when its sunny outside.

Oh, I forgot to put on a hoodie. I was wondering why I was so miserable all day.

“Hoodie”? Oh the thing I break out when temperature drops below -20 celsius… man you southern folk are soft for light cooling.
Please note that the northeast of the United States of America is not the same as the northeast of North America. Northeast America goes quite a bit further north and east. I think that part is called Canada.
A fellow cold lover…. I was in northern Ontario when it was -18C walking down the street in a tee shirt eating an ice cream.
Should have seen the number of double takes I got doing that. I was also confused for being a native when I went to Iceland because…. Well…. T-Shirt in November

I dunno, upstate NY Tim here, we are still hitting 80 degrees during the day. It has really thrown off my hoodie growing season.

As a fellow mammal who grew up and is still living in that climate zone, the autumnal skins change daily & sometimes hourly. As the weather cools, most days it is chilly in the morning, so a hoodie is desired, as the day warms the hoodie is shed, but re-grows as soon as the sun goes down. But in this season there are warm days where there are only shorts & t-shirt skins required. The next day it may be cold & rainy so a skin of long pants & some sort of waterproof jacket is used instead. As a… Read more »

I am the opposite. Every opportunity to do so is spent with the bare minimum of shorts, T-shirt, and a pair of flip-flops, or light shoes. This is my attire, even when it snows. Even when the snow is tickling my bare feet wearing said flip-flops. I love the cold. It invigorates me, makes me feel like I grow more alive during the winter months. By contrast, though, I shrink and die a bit during the height of summer. It makes me sweaty, and I begrudge having to move around in the heat. I wear hearing devices, and if it’s… Read more »
Definitely so. Drier places, even if warmer, lets the heat dissipate faster, so even working up a sweat doesn’t last so long. I used to live somewhere fairly dry and cold, and grew up there. I recently moved somewhere hot and humid, to take care of a family member, and I do miss the snow, fiercely, but also the dry summers.

My hoodie is my Linus blanket. I work from home in my basement and I’ll wear one in everyday.

Fellow northeastern Tim here, but my flock migrated south one season and never went back. I never did get used to southern weather, but I always preferred open jackets to hoodies. NC autumn is cozy to me, and winter leaves me wishing for the northern lake-effect snows.

Reminds me of a shirt I saw recently for a 5-day forecast for Cleveland:
Saturday was Partly Cloudy 72°
Sunday was Thunderstorm 38°
Monday was Sunny 89°
Tuesday was Snow 14°
Wednesday was Rain/Snow mix and ??°

Here in the central valley in CA…. My car said is was 102 yesterday still… We did get rain a few days ago, it usually will not rain until October or November here. I cannot wait for hoodie or flannel weather! I even have a flannel that is a hoodie at the same time.

in the PNW we never lose our hoodie as it rarely gets above 90 degrees unless you’re on the other side of the mountains.

It is a comfort thing too. Oversized hoodie just feels good. (adult blankie cape?) It is annoying when it is too warm to wear one and too cold to not.

As a Canadian, I don’t know what “cold” is. Heat destroys me but summers are short here, short enough I don’t bother wasting money on an AC. Unless it’s below 0 I’m good with just a long sleeve T.

My collegue that bikes together with me to work had to laugh when I came out with a jacket. “finally giving in?” she asked 😅
Still not like the coat she’s wearing but at least a bit thicker than the sweater (which I now do not wear underneath. This is now just an exchange to a slightly thicker outer layer XD)

How do you know that the temperature is below -20 celsius in Finland?
They close the windows.
The strip says he’s “native to the northeast.”
Not what I thought, but you can learn something new every day.
Please note that the northeast of the United States of America is not the same as the northeast of North America. Northeast America goes quite a bit further north and east. I think that part is called Canada.
According to the great sage Google.
That is only -4 freedom units. So I have to ask, is that regular or with wind?
Early winter with wind on north western coast line, you know at latitudes that allow calling Anchorage Alaska south.

Are drier places better where the sweat evaporates faster?

Actually, that sounds like the opening for a Deadpool sequel. Deadpool on ICE.
The twist is, with masks off, you have to figure out which is Wade and which is Kristi.
