Holy shit. "Set a record for days at 110 and over." Had to convert this to celsius for my Canadian mind. 43.33 degrees. Thats just crazy. Being from Canada, I tend to deal with the cold better than the heat. A week of -30 to -40 temperatures, no big deal, just spend time inside with sweaters and the heat on. But heat is not so easy to get away from. I'd go stir crazy.

As a Northerner (I can see Canada out my southern window!), I find extreme heat to be unbearable, and extreme cold to be exhilarating. There's something about heat the clouds my mind, and I can't focus on anything else. I don't know how people do it. I guess it's just what you're used to that counts.

Yes! I totally agree. Also, I find that cold can bring a clarity to your mind.
