I'd gladly take the cold over the heat.  Could be because I've never had to deal with prolonged amounts of extreme cold, but I find it easier (and cheaper) to put more clothes on and run various heat sources than trying to stay cool in our summers, which is impossible.  And there's only so many clothes I can take off before the cops have one of their talks with me. 

We lived in Wyoming when I was 1.  Wish I could remember it, but I bet I loved it. 
After 53 years of brutal cold, I cannot agree with you on this.

We don't have heat waves. It's called SW Florida.

I'll absolutely take cold over heat, but as someone who spent the first half of his life dealing with Chicago and then Purdue winters, there's a goddamned limit!

I could likely see Colorado being about the most perfect goldilocks place for weather if you're living somewhere where winter is a thing. Much more temperate than the Midwest, it gets cold and snowy but often warms up the next day, and you don't just get that brutal Midwestern "never above freezing from mid-Dec to end-Feb" level of cold. I don't want to deal with Midwest-level winter ever again. 

But of course, I don't think there's a place in the entire US with better year-round weather than where I live right now.

You can be outside when it's 92. You cannot be outside when it's 2.

Psh.  I saw thousands of fans doing exactly that at the Chiefs game the other day.

It generally doesn't get above 94 here. We had a one day hit 101 last summer.

This past week in Cleveland, it was around 2 degrees in the morning and wind chill was a fun 5 below. It was possible to go outside, but i needed 3 layers to be comfortable. I still dream of my days in Singapore. High of 92, low 77 every darn day. I had friends that hated it. I loved every second of it. My closet consisted of all t-shirt and shorts outside of one set of linen pants and a dress shirt.

So technically you can go outside when it's 2, but your clothing budget in climates like this are worse and so is the space requirement for clothes.. especially with kids.

I was mostly tongue-in-cheek with my comment on the 2 degree thing.

Sure, you can go out with enough layers. Can you fit in the car comfortably? A restaurant? Shopping? Removing layers is a pain in the arse. That's what I hated.

I've been to cold games outside at Camp Randall and Soldier Field. They barely give you enough room to sit in shorts and a t-shirt. Add 3-4" to everyone's body and it just downright sucks.
