Most would rather be ‘Too Cold’ than ‘Too Hot’ [Survey]

Have you defrosted, maybe even used the ice scrapper on your car yet this week? It’s been pretty cold. Do you enjoy winter? What about summer or even fall? A recent YouGov asked people about their feelings on cold and hot.

The question was “If you had to choose one of the following unpleasant options, which would you prefer?” Almost half (46%) said ‘Too Cold’ while a just over a third (36%) went with ‘Too Hot.’ There was a smaller group (16%) who weren’t sure how they felt answering ‘Don’t Know.’

Break it down by region on the Cold front, no pun intended, and the West loved it the most. The Midwest rather be ‘Too Hot’ but the margin to Cold was super small – 43% Hot vs. 41% Cold.
