Cooling down is nice. Warming up can legitimately hurt if you're cold enough.
There are as many ways to cool down as to warm up.
-Water
-AC
-A fan
-Freakin' fan yourself
-Sweating for all I care
To warm up, you have to put on a bunch of restricting or uncomfortable clothing. And then your face and hands still freeze, no matter what you do to prevent it.
Being cold makes you move slowly and even hurt to move your hands. ****ing TERRIBLE for musicians. I can't walk to the practice buildings and expect to get anything done in this weather.
Cold makes you tense up and shiver.
It's awful. And I can never see legitimacy in any argument that any human can make to say they'd rather live in 40 degree weather than in 90 degree weather.
I've lived in -40 Degrees weather (Both in F and C), and up to 100+F/40+C.
You warm up faster than you cool off. It's also easier to protect yourself against the cold than it is the heat: you can cover yourself in a lot more layers to battle the cold, than you can remove to battle the heat.
Either situation can be fixed by indoor stuff such as heaters and acs, so remove anything that has to deal with being inside of a building or vehicle for the comparison. Drinking cold stuff outside only cools you off for a very short while. You can get gear against the cold rated to -40, and quickly frankly: if you wear that stuff you
won't feel the cold much, if at all if it's warmer than that for a
very long time. Technically, it's possible to bring warm drinks with you in the form of thermoses, though that doesn't work as well at the extreme end.
There is also the fact that is nothing you can do about humidity when it comes to extreme heat. That just plain old
sucks.
tl;dr: I'm a Canadian that has lived in Texas. I know about both extreme heat and extreme cold, listen to me dang it.
