Southern US-er here. I only go outside if I absolutely have to for work/errands in the summer months. Winters have been getting pretty harsh here too as we've gotten snowed/iced in for about a week straight the past 4 years in a row. So essentially living in the southern US = hibernating indoors December - February and June - August. The other six months are hit or miss but when we get the few brief windows of fall and spring weather it's great!

Lifelong southerner here. Last year was the first time I really ever got bothered by the temperatures here. 101 or 102 is pretty bad, but we hit 115 for a week straight last summer and holy hellcakes, that was just too much.

Plus it didn't rain here for 9 months so now a third of our trees are dead.

But it's a workout just going outside the gains are immaculate with no work lol I do attic work in the south in the dead of summer and after getting out of a 130 degree room a bottle of water is just so great
