- learc83 12y agoWho keeps the AC at 60F? I live in Georgia and the normal setting is somewhere between 68 and 74. On a hot day, I don't think most people's ACs are even cable of getting the temperature down to 60.
- hawkice 12y agoI don't know about summers, but my parents enjoyed only turning on the heaters in winter when it got to maybe 45F indoors. Any colder and it might wake you up in the night, which is tremendously distracting, but aside from that there are no meaningful downsides to just wearing a sweatshirt. But those temperatures probably aren't common outside of Minnesota, Montana, the Dakotas, probably other midwestern areas (I'm in Michigan at the moment and it's bizarrely temperate -- people insisting coats are needed when sweatshirts hardly are).
- LordHumungous 12y agoAll I know is that I visit the midwest and south in the summer and when I walk into any indoor space I almost have to put a coat on.
- learc83 12y agoIf it's 95F outside and you're dressed for it, when you walk into a 70 degree room, it's gonna be cold.
