I'm better in cold than in hot and humid! When the wind blows at 50 mph and the temps are more than 20 below zero, it takes my breath away. Otherwise, I like cold a lot more than hot!

I don't think I feel any worse in cold weather, but breathing very cold air is hard on my pipes, so I put a scarf loosely around my chin and mouth or stay indoors more. I think a mask might be good too in the wind.

I am also bettering cold than in hot. I remember a couple summers ago it was 96 with 96% humidity. I couldn’t go out in it at all. I was reading the optimum for us 70° and 40% humidity.

God is with you and can do anything and sometimes just feel grateful and have faith as miracles do happen
