Default What is your favorite outside temp?

Tuesday was in the 40's, but today hit 97 degrees. A little breezy. 80 degrees is my all around favorite, althoug I do enjoy the snow. How about you?

65 with a slight breeze would be ideal, no freezing ,no sweating, and just cool enough for no bugs!

If I never saw 80+ degrees outside it would be fine with me.

I really like the fall in NE Ohio.

Hundred years ago 85 to 105 F was in my comfort zone and I was good to work or shoot down to -20 as long as the wind was under 20 mph. Last 10 or 12 years or so its more like 74 to 77 F. Not sure what happened but somewhere along the line I became a big old white haired sissy.

70-75 with low humidity. I hate the cold..in fact I don't even care for a little chilly. I'm happy when I can be outside at night and comfortably warm in a t shirt. I want warm but..the last couple of days here have been killers for me, high 80's with high humidity. So far today is feeling pretty near perfect.

Currently where I am at. Corning CA it is 0755 and it is 58 deg with a high of 75. The day I got here it was 105 and 4% humidity with 20 mph winds.

It is nice out right now. The wind was blowing to the north and that cools off the valley. If it blows from the north watch out it will be like living in convection Oven.

I am out visiting my parents and Collecting a few new Toys from my Stepdad. He is giving me either a 25-06 bench rifle or a 25-06 hunting rifle.

At home Stafford VA yesterday they had a heat warning in affect. It was going to be 105 with 95+% humidity making it feel like 120+. Glad I am here for this heat wave.

I prefer 60 to 70 degs that way I can work and not sweat my fat ass off too much.
