-15 here today, and a lot of snow coming this way. 


Personally I prefer a cold wave to a heat wave, I can always wear more clothes or go out less but there's no escaping from the heat. People who work outside all day might disagree with me here. 



heat is one expensive shit on winter, also air conditioners aren't that expensive, start from ~300 €. As i work with them i have few spare conditioners around, for me they cost only the electricity what they would consume. But since i live in a rental apartment atm... i don't have them installed here sadly, still 30+ on summer in room (24/7).
